I have 2 offers: Company 1 ( non FAANG startup) - TC $190 cash+ stock options 30,000 valued at $3/ stock vested over 4 yrs. COmpany says it could go to $10/ stock in next 4 years. Not much growth prospects. Company 2 (FAANG) - TC $150 cash+ $75k RSU vesting over 4 yrs. low- balled, however, lots of growth opportunities. How much does it FAANG Company matter on the resume? Current TC $150k
Faang is real money, company 1 is not. You also have to buy the stock options, unlike rsus. Go to faang.
Also, it’s stock options. You might not even make money and end up giving like LYFT
If you are early career, go to the FAANG. Learn as much as you can in best practices (and learn the worst practices to avoid). Network with colleagues - it will pay back over the rest of your career. Take advantage of any and all training offered, both formal and informal. Seek mentorship. Find the "grey beards" and listen to their stories. Volunteer for career fairs. Go to conferences. Visit the satellite offices. Shadow the people who are great interviewers. Always ask a question during all hands meetings with the CEO. Help to onboard new hires. Etc. Etc. Good luck!
High bonus seems like amazon
FAANG usually means it’s Apple! Lol.. cause otherwise people just say FANG
Do you need the money right away or do you want to gamble and hope for an IPO?
Thats a good question. I dont really need the money right away but it will definitely help. Either it will go IPO in 4 years or It can also happen that a Faang company will buy this other company in next 3-4 years. But currently I am leaning towards the Faang offer even though it is low, due to the opportunities they have promised. Also, i am afraid that if i pass on this opportunity I may never be able to get a similar one in future.
I’d recommend never passing on FAANG given the chances. But ... this doesn’t apply to the other startups that have filed S-1s and are almost certain to IPO soon.
Comp 1 is not higher TC. You can assume stock value at 0. Go with fang
Amazon is a shithole stay away thank me later

If it’s amazon go to company 1
Wow, without even asking for his work experience, interest, etc.? Typically, they say Amazon is a good company to begin your career with.
When you just starting your career FAANG is always good for your resume
