How to find high growth startups?

Hey everyone, I'm currently working as a SDE at a startup with about three years of experience. I'm considering making a move, and I've received an offer from an early-stage startup where I'd be joining as a founding engineer. My main motivation for wanting to switch to some startup is the potential for high learning and growth opportunities, especially since I'm still relatively early in my career. However, I'm a bit torn between targeting multinational corporations (MNCs) like FAANG and sticking with startups.On one hand, MNCs offer more stability and potentially valuable stock options, which can be more than just paper money. So, my question is, should I prioritize learning and growth by staying with startups, or should I also consider the FAANG tag and potential stock benefits? Also Would there be any added advantage when I later interview at some FAANG , after working as a founding engineer for 3-4 years in some startup (given I’ll have to build multiple things from scratch and owning multiple modules). The base package for the offer I hold is roughly equivalent to what FAANGs pay at my level. Any advice or insights would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

I have close to 14 years of experience mostly in development and solution architecture. Right now I am working in a top FMCG company for 3 years now and now I want to switch to technical product based company such as FAANG , Salesforce and so. I need some help/suggestions on how should I move forward for the preparation.rrwuest you guys to share your experiences as well

I am good at DSA and in HLD. I feel pretty confident that I will be able to crack the interview once I get a chance. I have 2 yoe in total in 3 product based startups. Graduated Bsc cs from a tier 1 college. For folks who manage to get at interview there, what thing help you the most?

I did my graduation in Mechanical Engineering from Delhi Technological University. Worked my ass off during covid lockdown to grab a Software developer job. Number of hours spent on DSA and development for straight 3 years. I was able to grab a decent package being from mechanical background. Currently i am working in Accenture as a software developer -> Java full stack developer + Angular (12LPA ctc, 9 Base) I want to work in a product based company which has better opportunities for me because i feel there is very limited opportunities in accenture and somehow people do not encourage to go for them at all. I need guidance on which companies should i be looking for great opportunities, great tech stack, with good management. Salary is never a obstacle for me. I am just looking for growth at this point of time in my career. Currently i am back to DSA again for interview preps. Referrals are also well appreciated.

Same as title. I'm trying to make a switch from service to product. Left my job 2 months back to fully commit and switch to a product based companies and I've used lever, LinkedIn, wellfound, ycombinator but I've found it hard to get things going (interview / round/ offers). Is there any way to find out the startups / product based companies in india ? Any platforms that you use to make the switch ?

How can one specifically target startups and succeed? While many pursue top MNCs or MAANG, getting entry can be challenging. I am keen on working with small startups. Has anyone experienced working in startups in Bengaluru or other locations where both good pay and learning opportunities are available? In terms of job search, is LinkedIn/Naukri or referrals more effective? When preparing for interviews, should one focus more on DSA rounds or development skills? What are the pors & cons or tips? Plz share your insights. Thanks

hey so here goes my post...I graduated last year and have been working at a pbc. However, the package and overall growth is something that I don't like. I work on hybris and spartacus it's good but I don't feel like I'm learning a lot. In clg i was practicing flutter even took an internship in it. Now the problem that i have rn is....i feel like compensation rn is not good.. it's 8lpa. And more importantly growth is not that high. Flutter is something I'm interested in but don't really see any good high paying jobs here. Then tech is all about being flexible with your tech stack....What would you suggest grind out dsa and go for the faang or do open source and try to get into one of those european or us startups which give remote work option but high pay...

I am a software engineer with 2+years of experience at a product based company. My current CTC is around 10 lpa which I feel is below market standards. Also my wlb is terrible and growth at my current organisation has become stagnant. I mostly work on bug fixes and some minor feature enhancements. What are the skills that are required to switch to a product based company as soon as possible with at least 15-17 lpa ? Currently I am not aiming for big tech ( FAANG) type companies as I know these will require thorough DSA , System design preparations which is not possible with my current job.
