Is this a good career move? Anything unique to statrups that I should look out for or negotiate? Current TC $120k (base - no bonus) GE Aviation, Cincinnati Offer: TC$200k Base $170k, Bonus $30k, no stock (privately held) Iowa City, IA 50-100 employees, 5 years in business, consistent revenue growth
Iowa city is a great community. Would go back and live there in a heartbeat. You'll be living like a king with that TC.
You’ll take it since it trashed your current TC
200k is a lot for Iowa City. Take it.
Thanks everyone for the feedback. Of course I'm leaning towards accepting, just a little worried about the risk that comes with working at a start-up. Also wondering if it will be harder to find a big company job again afterwards.
Most but companies love startup experience, shows they are innovative
> Is this a good career move? No
Pls elaborate...
your responsibility will decrease. that’s not what you want for career growth
I worked at an established startup in Iowa City 6 years ago and our Sr devs were getting like 70-80k. I’d think 200k is amazing for the area.
