Got an offer for 142k + 20,000 stock units from a startup and $135k from guidehouse.

I love the team I interviewed with for GH but at the startup I would be leading my role as I would be the only main team member. I’m torn. What would you do?

If it were me personally, I would pick the highest salary. I stayed somewhere way too long because of friendly atmosphere and was underpaid.

I think in order for you to make a decision and get advice, you’d have to share how many YoE, what area do you live in, WLB preferences, etc. it’s very specific to your personal and professional goals and life experience so far.

Pick the start-up hands down
