optiver performance researcher or ds @atlassian

data scientist product analytics (85k atlassian base and 100k in stock over 4 years) optiver performance researcher (170k base) my goal is that i want to end up building my own startup one day. im in final round interviews for both for grad roles. which one would you guys choose? i think i want to work with the more technical team. neither seem technical but maybe atlassian i can make some ambitious swe friends who might wanna build a startup with me? thoughts?

Optiver and it's not even close (they should also have some annual bonus)

Optiver is more reputable than FAANG imho. If you still have interviews to go, take Optiver VERY VERY seriously. The only downside with optiver is the amount of money optiver will pay you within the next 5 years which will make you lazy enough to not build a startup. Not really kidding....
