Hi! need some advice on two job opportunities:

Company A Startup offers the career progression to Director Level and more interesting work and learning opportunities, but I'm worried about burnout and stress since the company is only 150 employees. IPO 5 years

Company B offers potentially higher financial upside, IPO planned in 2-3 years (competitor IPO'ed and 3x'ed) better WLB and lower stress. But this would be a lateral move int title and probably less engaging work.

How many employees in the second company? Off rip, I’d say B definitely. Who cares about job title if you have a higher financial upside? And any startup that says they’ll IPO in 5 years is delusional. Even if that’s the case, you really think you’ll be there for half a decade? The other firm has a clear path to liquidity and a competitor to use as a benchmark. Go with the sure thing.

Company B has around 500 employees. I'd add for Company A from what I've heard they do have product market fit and will be getting another round of very funding soon to enter growth stage. I do believe Company A will IPO or get acquired within 3-5 years though.

If I were in your position and I didn’t have a family to support, I would go with option a. However, keep in mind that startups can go belly up and it’s not a great economy for startups right now. So there are some extra risks.

The only time I chose a lateral move was when I was recovering from a layoff. Predicting burnout that hasn’t happened sounds like you are talking yourself out of an opportunity you want.

I miss music. Like actual bands with instruments and vocal ability. Feels like the music industry is so hollowed out that multi-member instrumental bands like Fleetwood Mac, The Beatles, and even Metallica are no longer able to take root.

There are a few talented individual singers (Adele) a lot of awful mumble rappers, but no actual bands that will stand the test of time. Before I get called a Boomer, the problems with the music industry for new artists are well documented.

I'll share my experience and urge you to share yours:

Since iOS 14 changes, Facebook ads isn't the same anymore. Why?

A. >75% iOS users denied tracking. They are no longer tracked across websites/apps. Facebook lost its edge.
B. Targeting and conversion tracking aren't as effective anymore.
C. Many advertisers have been migrating their budgets from Facebook to Apple and Amazon ads.

What's your experience? Let's all learn.
