I have ~ 2 YOE in Amazon. I interviewed and got an offer from a young startup (Bangalore based) with people with really strong background (Google, Flipkart, MIT, UC Berkeley, Rivigo, etc.) They are offering 10% more than my current compensation at Amazon. I don't really feel satisfied with the work culture at Amazon and the culture in this startup seems better. Kindly give your suggestions. Current TC: 22.5L #amazon #startup
Leave Amazon for anything!
Things can turn upside down pretty quickly for startups in these scenarios. Companies like Airbnb, Uber are crashing so rapidly in no time!
The founders were Google Directors
I would say take the risk. It's worth it and since you have no visa issues what's stopping you. Even if the startup goes down I don't think you would have any trouble getting interviews with Amazon on your resume.
Whatās rivigo?
Leaving Amazon right now for a startup with only 10 mil in funding is objectively a bad idea. However it seems like itās what you want to do...so do it! You only live once, go for it.
It really depends on the prospect of the company, if they got great management leaders with exceptional connections and experience, there wonāt be too much worries. Liquidity is always the biggest for the startups, especially in Recession
Op, don't join a startup because it's made by people with strong background. If it fails (since 10M is not a lot of money), those people can find jobs easily. Are you sure you'd be able to find a good job? Even if so, 10% more seems a bit less, try negotiating. Also I'm guessing they're private so stocks/equity don't mean anything if they're offering that
Nope, not in this Market. Amazon is safe bet. Join the startup once this madness ends and if that startup still survives!
They currently have over 10Million in their seed funding. So they have enough money atleast for the next 1.5 years
Depending on the startups product it can be pretty high risk in this market
