Hi Fishes,

Need some insights here...

I have a couple of offers! And confused about which one to choose. One is from a leading product based financial services company, and the other is from a unicorn startup in Pharma domain.

Some Pros and cons for the unicorn startup:
Pros:
1. Better Compensation (20% more than the product base)
2. Paced learning
3. Latest Tools and Tech

Cons:
1. New in the market, less brand value
2. Wondering what all exit options will it offer in 3-4 years
3. Poor WLB

Join the unicorn and ask for ESOPs

It's unicorn afterall.. go for it

I would say join in a product based company, if they have good brand value. Also find where you have more learning opportunity and career growth, rather than seeking for higher compensation. All the best .

Have a formal offer at Citi for 120K as an AVP in the NY office. Currently making 92K at my current role where I feel there’s not much room to grow anymore. Is this a fair offer?

Thoughts on how to approach this?
