I've been interviewing with some companies, and now I have to decide between JPMorgan Chase and Globant.
Globant is more innovative, and has remote work. I will enter to work with a Sillicon Valley startup based in San Francisco. The tech stack is React, Nextjs, AWS, and a serverless architecture.
JPM is semi remote, and less innovative. The tech stack Java, SpringBoot and AWS. But I'd do more migration tasks, like dockerize projects and pass them to kubernetes. What would you choose?

McKinsey & Company I am joining the McKinsey & Company Boston office in late July and searching for housing in the meantime. If I could get some insight on the ratio of days in the office vs work from home that would be super helpful!
If I need to come into the office regularly I will try to find a place close by.

1) When Does a software engineer start financial planning for retirement since the our Career span is only 15-20 years on average.
2) How much and which schemes to invest to mitigate the risk?
3) How much do we need for retirement?

If it's growing rapidly, you probably won't have any better w/l balance. Who do you think is gonna be doing all the work required to continue their rapid growth? You, that's who.

I'd be careful, take a good look at any reviews they have. My second agency job ever was a rapidly growing startup and it was a mess, despite the smoke screen they liked to portray. Take a look at them on glassdoor and read between the lines. Or ask about them directly here, you'll get honest feedback.
what @AM1 said.
Ask about how they do resource management tracking and allocating (if they don’t have a system or the answer is just ‘it varies by client,’ w/l balance will not be good) and how vacation coverage is handled.
In the smaller agencies I was at that had strong resource management (traffic schedules, correctly scoped budgets on every project, etc.), creatives worked 8-9 hours a day and were done for the most part. If it was a new biz pitch or a huge project, they might stay later, but generally they weren’t allowed to be overbooked that way.
Account/project management didn’t have the same luxury though… we’d be drowning in too many clients.
Pro
Unpopular opinion: in my experience small agencies in growth mode have been awesome. Great opportunities to expand your career, everyone’s upbeat and nothing succeeds like success so it’s usually a good ride for a while. The problems usually set in once the growth train stops or if ownership/leadership has an exit plan.
I’ve only worked at small agencies - I would ask about how many clients you’d be working on at any given time and what the current internal process is for you to be handed projects/work, any plans for more hiring, etc. - that should give you some insight into how they operate but it’s honestly gunna be a gamble no matter where you go. It also will likely ebb and flow. You really just need to read between the lines of how they answer questions like that.
The last agency I was at for 4 years was standard 9-5 and I rarely worked past 5:30, flexible hours and unlimited PTO… it was great
Rapidly growing as in the creative is award winning best-in-class work? Or because biz dev is undercutting competitors and promising the moon to clients to win work?
I’d be skeptical around how they’re growing so fast. If they say something like ‘great relationships’ that’s a red flag to me. If leadership is winning work by slashing their rates just to build their client base you may be subjected to understaffed teams / unrealistic timelines / endless revisions to keep the client happy and the project profitable.
I’ve been trying the same. Hope your luck proves to be better than mine.
