Intuit vs Startup
I am working at a startup since 3 weeks and I have gotten a verbal offer from Intuit. I initially interviewed for SDE2 at Intuit but they down levelled me to SDE1. My base is currently at 65k but Intuit is offering 60k. But since Intuit is more established than a startup, (and with the the probable recession coming up), I am wondering if I should take up Intuit even after being down-levelled and being offered a lower salary. #tech #swe #sde TC: £65k YoE : 5
Try negotiating with Intuit - “i will sign today if you raise base to 65k”. Plus they have RSUs and great benefits, it’s probably the better choice during a volatile market
What are the benefits they offer? They haven't told me much about the benefits in the interviews.

Given the recent volatility, stability is definitely appealing. That said, this is still a very personal decision. Is stability important to you? Are you working on something fantastic with awesome people at the startup? How does that compare to the team at Intuit? This is your career you're talking about, not just the next job. Don't focus too much on a difference of thousands now. Think long term. Which position would set you up better for what you want to do in the future?
You should be getting RSUs as part of your offer, and is worth real value, which you won’t be getting being in a startup. Like someone mentioned earlier, negotiate a higher base
Is it a contract position? Also does your recruiter know that you make 65? If not, NEGOTIATE! PS: To answer your question- Intuit benefits are seriously amazing. It’s neck to neck with top companies like Google, so even if you cant negotiate, come onboard- you won’t regret it.
No it is a full time position. I have not yet informed the recruiter of my current compensation.
Find out what percentile is the 60k in. They should be printing you in at-least in the 25-50 percentile range. That could be a good strategy to negotiate.
Make it poll. I would prefer Intuit over a startup. Market is bad, Intuit is quite stable with good benefits.
I heard Intuit laid off 700+ people during the covid in 2020. How's the situation now in the company? Is it stable? Or can there be more layoffs?
Layoffs can be anytime in this situation. Not fear mongering but don't want to commit sometime that I am not aware of completely. But in my Business Unit, we don't see any signs of layoffs. Overall the company looks solid to me. I joined 6 months back.
