If you are not coming from MBB (i.e., don't necessarily have a top of industry firm on your resume yet) and you want to exit to tech, do you care about whether it is as well known as FAANG and similar companies?

Say if a late stage startup reaches out promising same initial comp as FAANG, would you take it or would you hold out? And why?

If it sounded like a job I wanted to do, with a company whose product I was excited about, for a salary I felt was competitive, then I would take it.

How else could it work? You’re looking at a startup vs FAANG. Those are completely different things.

You’re at Deloitte. You checked the brand box already. You’re worrying about something silly. Find a job you want, not a job to build the resume.
