Continue for negotiations with other companies. With current economy it’s worth putting in the time to get an offer.

Sorry should’ve put this in OP: My best offer right now is at a FAANG adjacent company for 190, WLB here is 40 hrs/wk. Is it still worth it to pursue?

First point still holds. TikTok game me above 200 for new grad in 2020. Do you think your other offer has potential to grow?

I work less here than at my previous job. YMMV I guess.

You can change the culture. Just join and do the needful.

we don't have 996. There's an anti-china, anti-tiktok bias that's been here for the last couple years. Would recommend you ask to speak to future team members to get more information
