Hello CSCQ! Just came off of a very successful interviewing period and was lucky enough to receive a few very good offers. I’ve narrowed them down to the two top ones to decide over the next couple of days, but wanted to see what y’all would pick and why, in case there is anything else that I’ve missed when considering them.
Location: Canada HCOL
YoE: 4
Personal Facts: Mid 20s, Enjoys backend/full stack, young baby at home but willing to grind to a certain degree (partner is SAHD)
Offer 1 (startup):
Company: 4yo Series D company very well positioned in the market with high growth potential and a stable stack/product, can pick between a full stack team or an infra team, incredibly smart people and a stack I enjoy working in, will most likely have to do much more work than Company 2 but the work will be rewarding and will help me grow career-wise faster for sure.
Comp: 170k base, ~400k value of options vested over 4 years
Offer 2 (Long-Running)
Company: Very mature private company with the industry-dominating product that has many years of history. Team is more focused on internal tooling so will have newer tech to play with. Much more chill compared to Company 1 and can likely stay a LONG time.
Comp: 210k base & yearly bonus
Both options are hybrid and involve similar commutes, and both have teams that seem great to work with. What would you pick in my situation: cold hard base comp or potential for options to materialize and a much better learning environment?
