Hi kind blindmates,

This is in connection with my post: https://us.teamblind.com/s/1Rtqcch2

So I'm looking to jump from current start up that I joined in March for following reasons in the given order of importance:
1) Was heavily lowballed by recruiter, by giving high base raise but really low RSUs, quoting company policy and smartly masking saying these are gonna triple by year end and are much more valuable than my prev company (stuck) stock. So overall TC hike was ~10% but it was made to look like >30% considering potential year end stock appreciation. This was my first ever switch. New offers now, provide a TC bump of >25% on my current TC here.
2) Location preference. New offers from Nutanix and Cohesity are at a more preferred location to me, thus not requiring relocation.
3) I do feel the team chemistry is pretty cold and not so much fun here. This could be coz of virtual onboarding and setup.
Question now is, would you suggest me to jump to Cohesity/Nutanix; or stay put for at least a year, considering TC bump and other factors mentioned? #tech #jump #dilemma

    If you're unhappy with your current job, as you seem to be, then no point waiting longer.

      The people are not bad though. But adding up all my reasons, I'm dissatisfied. Thus the dilemma

    I joined a company like FB remote and first few months were same. If you’re unhappy then that’s that and you should move on.

    But do some soul searching in the source code if you’re an engineer. Observe the daily activity of colleagues from the sideline to understand is the company bad or is your situation a shortfall.

    Bigger companies will have similar problems.
