If your team does daily standups, your manager is a micromanager
Two offers on the table YOE - 12 Current TC - 0 (layoff), 450k (pre layoff) Already accepted the startup offer but haven’t started yet Startup is pre IPO, 5000 people, series E (has raised like 400M, valued at 2B) but still paper money Walmart is real comp/RSUs have tangible value.
Startup base pay alone is 90% of the Walmart TC. You might as well gamble on the success of the startup. It is big enough for to not implode overnight, so if things go downhill you have time to job hunt again.
Go with the startup. Hard to give any guesses on upside potential without knowing what it is. But, surface level go with it over Walmart.
WTF is big startup
5000 for 2B…you will only get small slice even if it work out. However, director vs Sr, it will help you up level in the future. Pay is decent for startup
Startup
Without knowing what the start up is (big variable) just looking at the data you provided I’d say skip Walmart. TC is one reason yes but series E and the $400M raised seems like it’s a risk worth taking to get the title and experience.
Do the startup ad Walmart is highly toxic, very Indian centric unless you are in Arkansas (which is white centric) and just a political shitshow.
I’d only go startup if you have a specific reason for example: - never been a people manager and want to be a people manager - really like the sector the startup is in - really hate Walmart - only worked at big companies and want to try startups -2nd time founder with a previous successful exit as the CEO
