Current comp: 85k 2k yearly bonus 10% 401k great environment for everything. 5 min commute. love coworkers and everything but slow pace maybe im not learning as much as i could with a little more stress new startup offer: 105k salary 5k signing some equity no match 401k and 1hr commute but no commuter reimbursement. id be the second engineer so super small team. lots to do but maybe not as much guidance edit: not a new startup. few years old. they produce their revenue and are cash flow positive.
I would wait for better offer
Apply to FAANG
Wait for better offer. The new startup doesn’t seems worth it.
Does it make a diff if the startup isnt brand new and a little more established in their revenue and stability?
How much equity in second case
Second one any way. The only reason to be an early startup employee is to accelerate your learning and contribute boatloads in value.
