Is it an earlier stage company? If so that’s pretty common. Often as they scale/raise they’ll enriched the benefits package. I joined a co at Seed and we brought in the 401k well past our A.

Depends,if the firm has significant upside potential then getting equity makes sense and 401k may not be a big deal but if the firm is an early stage startup then something to consider..would do a careful analysis before taking a decision..

It depends on what level you’re at in the company. If you’re at executive level then equity will likely be worthwhile.

Not at my current career stage. 10 years ago I might consider it however. If the company failed, I would still have time to come up with a Plan F (for Fudge Cake).

It depends. I am currently looking for work in my field and open to referrals as well.

Hello Folks,
Can you pls advise on which company to go for.
R-Systems : They are providing WFH + clarity on the project and team for which I’ll be working upon.
CTS : No clarity as of now, only thing I am aware is that I’m a part of full stack community.
HCL : Some clarity on the project but less package than other two.
R-Systems and CTS are giving same CTC.
YOE ~8
Skill set : . Net full stack + Angular + Azure

Thanks
