Am progressing through rounds with 2 companies (been on hunt for 8 months, am early career), one is a large fintech company for ~10k less than what I was making, other is super small boutique for ~10k more.
Trying to weigh my options ahead of time in case I have to actually choose between them. Obviously one looks better on the resume but the other would pay me more so I need to look at other factors to compare.
Tbh I doubt I'll be in a situation to choose but now I'm just curious. Thoughts?

10k a year after taxes is probably a wash per month / per week. Take the one with better alignment to your short / medium / long term goals!

What about benefits? Health insurance cost, retirement, PTO, etc.

Bigger company probably has better benefits that would make the smaller salary okay.

So my fiancé and I are having a microwedding in Rocky Mountain National Park next year, and we’re working with an elopement planner.
She sent over a sample ceremony (intro, sweet poems + passages to be read, and example vows), and we read through it last night. I was reading it out loud while my fiancé made dinner, and it just hit me that this is really happening. I’m just really happy that I found someone who is willing to take a vow to spend his life with me and I’m so excited for that day :)

I have an offer to join a startup as an APM. The only downside is that the engineering team is located offshore in India. I’m concerned about the resulting impact because of 1) the potential late night calls 2) the learning opportunities missed by not working with a US engineering team (communication tactics, translatable skills) 3) potential exit opps into FAANG pm roles due to not having experience with an onshore eng team. Would any one be able to speak to this from experience or share advice

Just a reminder that outside our bubble no-one really cares about firm prestige etc.
