Ancestry vs Netskope. I understand these are two vastly different companies. One is a DNA tracing provision company and the other is a cloud security provision market leader. Ancestry’s a Technical Program Manager role and Netskope is a Technical Project Manager role. Both pre-ipo but I think Netskope is validated at $9B? Compensation seems to be both $115k+bonus+RSU, but Netskope is a remote based, so it’s not SF market rate even though I’m in SF. What would you guys choose?

As a follow up info:
Ancestry’s culture is very relaxed with tons of work-life balance. Collaboration is installed in their culture already
Netskope sounds to be a little more shaky because of their hyper growth phase. It does sound like work life balance could be harder to reach.

Ancestry’s compensation range was $110-$120k and settled at $115k without any negotiation. So room for negotiation I believe but not too much
Netskope didnt specify any range, but when I said $115k base they seemed to be very happy with that number. I believe there’s a lot more room for negotiation here but keep in mind it’s not SF/Bay Area market based salary… its Remote. So I’m curious how much more I could negotiate knowing that I initially mentioned $115k… maybe $130k base?

Any updates on both companies? I'm looking at both for a position as well and the salary range the jobs have a huge salary range. I'm not sure if I should take the median pay to negotiate for or what

I would humbly suggest you decide for which you would be most passionate and find most rewarding. Netskope is on the leading edge of protecting people and businesses and fighting bad guys.

I applied for a position at a creative agency via LinkedIn. I'm not excited about agency work but job hunting hasn't been going well and I applied anyway. They reached out and would like to interview. But when I went to look over the job details again, I found their listing on ZipCruiter gives a pay range, which at their high end is $20k less than my minimum salary reqs. Should I still interview with them? If not, how can I politely reply and decline the interview?
