Hey everyone,

Two months ago I joined a hot startup. The comp has been good, team good, work fun, and all that. The stock has been performing decently, but when I joined it had already grown significantly although it is continuing to increase.

However, I was surprised and I received two amazing offers - one from Google and one from a finance firm. I was told I had passed HC for L5 and fuck, I’m seriously considering it. No numbers yet.

The finance firm is similar tier to Citadel/Jump/JS/HRT.

What do you guys think?

    Don't chase prestige. Fun work and good team are huge blessings that you might not get at Google, especially if you end up in a high stress GCP team. I would only consider jumping for at least 30% TC bump, which it sounds like is not the case here.

      I'll be interviewing with Google soon and high stress is okay, as long as the manager isn't abusive, I had an abusive manager back at Oracle and it left me with PTSD for quite a long time.

  • I'm surprised so many people voted to jump to Google. You got something good going already, the good culture/good pay/enjoyable work/growth opportunities are usually the 4 goals I have whenever I job hunt. Sure, Google is a big name, but you have no idea if your new team/work is going to be as good or even comparable to what you got.

  • Google no brainer. It can withstand any upcoming recession.

  • Stay at Stripe/Instacart/Databricks/Chime or whatever for 11 more months and then decide, Google offer is good for one year.
