Update - Seems Wlb in the startup is less and I will be the senior engineer in the team.

  • Startup should be series C or series D and should be growing with revenue of atleast 50-60% yoy for those 80 espos to be anything useful .

    • Series A,B companies just have some form of viable product which they think they can sell, how many in market will really purchase is still exploratory in nature . During series C and D they are kind of confident that it's useful to good amount of customer and spend on all aspects of product to improve and sell it more and generate revenue .
      Post series C and D if revenue growth is good there is decent chance to make exit .
      Series A and B are thus risky bets , it's just paper money . Tough in C , D also it's paper money , but then company has some decent valuation and it's not hollow . Also, in event of liquidation employees are the last in queue to receive check , unless it goes IPO .
      Revenue no they are not going to tell you . They might just say we are growing great .

    • Thanks for the information. Do you think the offer is good considering the company has a decent chance for exit?

  • Depends on which startup and how much you value not being out of job suddenly. Overall, I don't understand why you are considering them over staying at Microsoft. Salary difference does not justify the pain of ramping up in a new job.
