I am currently working at a start up for 3 years and there is not a lot of growth opportunities here. I received an offer from Discovery Inc. for SDE1 role this is for their streaming platform in Bellevue. TC: 160k Location: Bellevue, WA But the team is fairly new and based on my conversation with the manager the team is 4 months old and they are trying to expand. Questions: 1.) Is it a good idea to join such a young team? 2.) How is the work life balance and culture at the Bellevue office? If anyone has any insight I would really appreciate it. #engineering #software #swe #discovery
