What’s the offer

Yep, plus at the next raise or liquidity event you might be able to cash out too! Don’t always need to wait to IPO. Honestly, they’re giving a good cash component so seems like they’re at least doing alright.

Not so risky that it isn't worth it. With that offer I would take it and see what you can see.

Over the last couple of months I’ve interviewed for a number of jobs and made it to second and third round interviews but never got an offer. My last interview was on Monday and I got feedback that I did not get selected because it did not seem like I was a a team player. Ive got three interviews coming up and l am wondering how I can improve my chances of getting an offer. Any ideas are welcome. I need a new job like yesterday.
