Just got a huge offer from a start up! 300k base. I heard RECESSION starts in July 2022, does it make sense to keep my 150 K job at Accenture and reject the offer? Don’t want to risk getting fired from start up. Please share some advice. I heard it on the news today, Nasdaq is at a 14 year low

You need to take the opportunity. Any big firm would take you right back if needed. These firms preach loyalty only as a brainwashing technique - it’s doesn’t really get you much in return.

Do some research to make sure the position is legitimate. If so, give Accenture a 2 week notice and take the position. If things don't work out, go back to Accenture or another firm.

A lot of people want to join a start up for wrong reasons, join if you believe in them, your vision and their roadmap aligns. They do something that you dreamt of doing and if yes please join them as they will grow as their hiring strategy is on point! If your motivation is only salary and you are worried they may not do well given the market conditions then believe me do them and yourself a favor… do not leave your current job!

They are offering you double and have major growth potential— take it! You can always go back to Accenture or another firm. As long as you have enough in savings for emergencies, this is an exciting opportunity. There’s always going to be something to worry about around the corner, so there’s no sense in trying to predict the future.

Following this post. What industry is this startup in and what type of role? Want to get a gauge of what is out there for this salary range.

Let me interview at this startup

WOT 🤯

How much funding do they have?
How old is the company?

What’s your function/role/level? Is 300k base or total?

I joined a start up right before covid and got terminated in 10/2020. Found another job in not-start up thank god. But 300k is a lot

Hi Everyone. I completed my 1 year in EY in October 2022. And in my profile, they have updated it to Senior Analyst now. But that was a progression that happens every year and I have not received the incremented salary.

Now that they are giving increments to everyone, will I receive both progression and increment or my progression will be counted as increment.

Highly confused.
