I'm in the interview process for a manager position at Meta and at a unicorn insuretech startup. The unicorn has 1bil investment and a solid business model. Meta is Meta, an amazing opportunity. I have 10 years of experience. I'm wondering about the pros and cons of the 2 different options and your opinions would be of great interest.

My situation might be different, but I passed on an AWS program manager role when I was 2 years in to my career. Was working at a PE backed startup and was glad I stayed (for a number of reasons). But I always did wonder how going would’ve Impacted me financially as well as in terms of career trajectory.

Tech isn’t a closed door, if you have the applicable experience you can open doors just about anywhere (I came from a no name startup as an example). If they want you once they’ll want you again.

How long do you have until IPO (by your estimation if you don’t know for sure)? And yeah I totally get it, I wasn’t a great student out of school and landed a sales role at VMware, but once I switched to PSO and consulting I was dying to get a name on my resume.

You should go through the interview process first before basing your decision on the accolades of the company of the day. At the end of the day, you want to do something that feels right for you.

My point is, you won't know that until you go through the interviews, meet the team and understand the role a bit better.

Meta isn’t nearly as prestigious a name on your resume as it used to be. Also like you mentioned, that equity could end up being very valuable. MAAAN companies will be around forever. If the startup seems exciting and appears to be on a good trajectory, it’s hard to beat that experience.

most of what I bring up in these meetings are logistical or prioritization concerns but I feel like my manager is expecting a lot more from me.
