Leaving NVIDIA for AI Startup?
Am I making a mistake? Early career < 3 YOE wanting to learn more/faster paced TC: ~260k New TC: 170k base + 400k paper money per year
Stay brotha
Which one ? Could be worth but very risky
well funded AI infra startup
Are they in the seed stage, or have they raised over 100 million? Because if they are going to build AI accelerator chips, they will need hundreds of millions of dollars in funding. It will be a challenge.
Woah, 2xing your TC! Go for it if you think you can redeem that paper money at some point.
For most enterprise businesses that some point could be 15 years
Stay.
Doesn't really matter career-wise, do what you want. You can boomerang back if it doesn't work out anyway.
Nvidia is already peaked, if there is no big stock award in future, it’s worth going for start up
That's what the naysayers were claiming at 350...and then 450...and now 550+ 😉
How much experience do you exactly have?
Startup you take risk early in career and after 45 years when kids ready to goto college . All liabilities are taken care. Before joining startup do study who are founder and investor. Most of hardware startup don’t go IPO probably bought by bigger company. Money is made by founders not engineers .
You are in your early career. I'd say go for it. But do due diligence to make sure the startup is sound, well funded, and the founders are good.
Stay.
