Which team in VMware?
You are young, go for growth.
Lot of factors to consider, many purely subjective. But purely financially, look at Thumbtack on Crunchbase. Raised $700M with a couple rounds led by Sequoia. That’s no joke. Try to find ways to assess Thumbtack’s potential outcomes and their respective probabilities, figure that into your TC comparison.
I thought VMware is remote?
No, its not fully remote
Higher pay
