Am I insane for not accepting an offer at Salesforce?

Salesforce seems to have it all: great brand name, always at the top of “best places to work” lists, industry leader, smart people, etc. Am I crazy for not accepting an offer with them and instead going to a smaller company with zero brand name recognition?

I am not in San Fran, so I feel like I would lose a lot of the benefits of working at SF. I also feel like the work I would do there is just more of the same of what I’m currently doing as a consultant. The smaller company wants me to actually build a team and transform the way they do business on my specific piece of software, whereas I would just be a small piece of the larger team at SF

I think I know the right decision for ME, but I can’t shake the idea that I would be stupid to turn down SF.

What role? And did the comp work out?

Depends on the role. If it's Sales... Then that's a role that has to fit you. But, if it's a consulting role or their architects. That's a solid role

I didn’t ask like I should have. I would of made a joke like whose a personal friend your cousin? Lol. Would others assume he is dating based on the “personal friend” comment

Is it worth it or should I just try to make it work in NYC ?
