Got an offer from both Thrasio and SpaceX (Starlink) for senior software engineering role. Thrasio is remote but SpaceX is in office 5 days a week (yes everyday) Thrasio TC: 190k SpaceX : 230k Thrasio is startup in aggregator business, they started in 2018-2019. What is the future of Thrasio? Which one is better for career growth? Which one is going to go bankrupt?
Eh, full remote is a much stronger offer than 5 days in office, IMO. Depends on whether you want to be in person. Where is spaceX office? Are you relocating for it? Personally I’d go with the sector that interests you more. I would imagine SpaceX might also be a bit more rigid about controls and processes than Thrasio since they’re just a random e-commerce platform.
I don’t need to relocate for SpaceX however I hate working from office. Wondering what is the future of Thrasio?
Yeah I'm > 400k and I'd probably take 200 for full remote. I'm just too busy to leetcode... lol
You need to negotiate comp with SpaceX. 230k TC is a major lowball for senior, that's.basically a mid-level offer. What is the offer breakdown? I am guessing that brand doesn't matter here since you are not early career.
I know base is 180k and I have the verbal offer from recruiter. How would you imagine negotiation given SpaceX is not public so the RSU may not mean much.
SpaceX probably has the most liquid RSU of any private company. There are purchase offers every 6 to 9 months. Employees have already liquidated billions in stock. Your response implied that you were only offered 50k RSU per year (250/5) which is the same amount that juniors get - you should negotiate this up to more like 80k per year.
Avoid Thrasio at all costs, the work is not really that interesting and you could be out of a job any day now. They have no idea how to run that business, as others have said, laying off entire teams to make up for bad leadership hires with no background in the space. The aggregator space in general is pretty bad right now
Do they have any chance of IPO?
I would doubt it…was definitely the plan a couple years ago, but I imagine it would be a disaster if they actually went for it. Investors have very little confidence in this space
Thrasio is declaring bankruptcy
Is it certain yet?
Hope you picked spacex lol!
SpaceX is probably the safer option here, unless you are ok with losing your job soon......
wtf is Thrasio lol why is this even a question
If you care about wlb, mental health, and less pay choose Thrasio
How is the future of Thrasio though?
No idea, never heard of them. But let’s be real, would you be happy going into spacex everyday and being over worked? I certainly would feel i would hate it
