If you have to choose between a unicorn startup and a Big 4. What would you do.
A few obvious key differences I can think off.
1. Startup offering better compensation approx 10-20 % higher
2. Startup will have better learning opportunities
3. Big4 would have better WLB
4. Big4 would have better job security

I am sure there are plenty more differences but what would you prefer and on what parameters.

Unless you are in audit, the term Big4 does not hold any relevance for you. EY KPMG PwC Deloite are Big4 Audit firms ... They are not the best or biggest 4 in any other area... Definitely not in software development...

With things trending how they are right now I would take the job security. That being said, unicorns don't come around that often and I would be hard pressed not to want to take it if I'm honest.

Looking at current market... Check what that startup is upto... How's there condition in market.. they really pay good ... But u have to pay for it in terms of wlb.. and su might have heard news about startups these days so be careful ... But yes learning wise they provide good platform. .. but. Even big tech u can find good projects and good learning... Think all around...
