Hi All, I have three offers and don’t know which one to pick. The first is a Blockchain startup within a larger public company. They are offering 160k base, 10k in equity, 10k signing and 100% 401k matching up to 6%. They also said that they can match any offer and this offer is negotiable (they seem to be really willing to give anything). And also great benefits. TC is 170k + 9k 401k The second is a small startup that got bought out by a PE firm that is planning on either selling it or going public in 3-5 years. (Or that’s what the CEO says). Base is 140 here. Not really willing to negotiate much. However a great learning opportunity and I think I’ll really like the role. TC 140 + 2k 401k Matching The third is Capital One. They haven’t given numbers yet but said 140-160 range. This is the middle option, I think I’ll like it, but it’s a rest and vest. I really don’t want to do bullshit blockchain fantasy unicorn, but I can hold my breadth. I don’t think I’ll learn that much from the blockchain startup, as everyone in the office seemed indifferent and bored. However I think I can get them to 190TC which makes it hard to pass up. I’ll learn the most at the 140 small PE acquired start up. Husband works as SWE in FANG, so we’re not cash strapped. Current TC 120, 3 YOE, Product Management Roles
Probably want to optimize for growth and learning if you're early on in your career and aren't hurting for cash. The money can always come later.
That is definitely a fear. Based on some information i learned during interview. I think it’s likely they are going to merge down the line
Location? Current and future?
NY, I’m also at video call stage with AmEx, think it’s worth it?
No
DM if I can help with Amex.
What’s your Total YOE ?
Lmao dont come here. Also go with the Blockchain one imo its 30k difference.
Why not?
Yes. Going to Cap1 would be a huge mistake!
