I am an Engineering Manager (EM) at a big, but traditional, company in Brazil, currently managing a team of 8 developers, and I am now at the initial stages of interviewing at Booking (Amsterdam), Google (San Francisco) and Twitter (No info yet).
Also, I met a CTO, who was previously an Sr EM at a very successful scaleup in Brazil, that is starting a new fintech startup with two other guys that just recently sold their company and are now being invested by https://a16z.com/ in this new venture.
What excited me about the startup is that I would be the first EM to join the company and I would be also working close to really good people.
In 5 years, I plan to launch my own startup, so right now I am prioritizing learning instead of TC. So mainly I am considering two things:
- Where I would learn the most?
- Which company would bring me closer to launch my own startup in the future?
One of the things that also made me interested at FAANG is that I get a chance to move to the US to get, not only really high TCs, but also the entrepreneurial environment and opportunities that are much better than in Brazil.
Current TC: 250k BRL
Still too early in all processes, no offers from any of those companies yet. But I will be probably having an offer to join this startup next week and I am considering starting right way before finishing the other interviews.

I mean that I currently working at a big company. But this company is very traditional and not tech-savy.
