unknowable do you live ch now and have to move to nyc?
Yeah
that salary is low for nyc. you’ll be poor but as offers go it’s typical
How are you coming to USA? Are you a citizen?
Lol. What ones?
Many read it as 0 insurance rather than free insurance...
Dude...if you are already at Google this startup is not even offering something close to acceptable for NYC for the risk you are taking. Are you joining as a partner or c-suite? If not, it looks like a terrible deal.
What’s their valuation? Funding stage? Your years of experience?
Valuation unknown, $31m in funding, Series B. I have 5+ YoE.
How mature is this startup? If it's early stage startup and you want to do something other than fixing bugs and making small enhancements at Google, go for it. Is there any guarantee for success? Nope, but you'll learn a lot (assuming you have the drive and you go in with no expectations).
It’s more a question of do you think you can do better than that? Salary wise it’s totally doable for NYC. Others in the chat are either lifestyle creeped af or delusional.
Those benefits are shameful
What's missing?
It's below standard in nearly every aspect, to start. I wouldn't even spend time considering
