Honest question , how do you find roles at startups or do you get headhunted?
My gut tells me option 1, but wanted to see if I’m missing anything else important to consider.
I think your gut is right. After a certain point of $, you shouldn't hesitate to pursue fulfillment (fit, purpose, wlb, etc.)
Option 1 sounds more exciting.

Ignore the signing bonus since it’s not recurring. TC for option 1 is: 233~ and TC for option 2 is: 262.5.
The delta is essentially the same but numbers in total are lower. 13% isn’t really going to change your quality of life, go with what will be more enjoyable to you.
If you love the people at Option 1, than the question is answered. 200k is still a great salary and if you have pretty strong certainty you'll love your job, than it's a no-brainer. Sometimes you gotta go with your heart, not the numbers (both of which are great tbh)
