I have 2 offers for an SDE-1 position and I'm not able to choose between them.
Offer 1: Pros: Large product based US company. Work is tech stack agnostic which I was looking for since I wanted to move out of my current stack. I've heard it's chill. Cons: Salary is lower than what was discussed initially. After I cleared all interviews, I didn't have a proper discussion about salary from the HR which kind of seems like a red flag.
Offer 2: Pros: 15% higher salary. People were more friendly and more open to questions and discussions, I feel they treated me with more respect. I could have a greater learning opportunity there maybe. Cons: STARTUP. Tech stack is similar to the one I'm currently using and it's not the best choice for scalable and maintainable services. More hectic. More stress. More responsibilities. They haven't raised a lot of funding so I'm a bit unsure about my future there.
Any opinion on what I should go with?
If I money is your main reason then go for Offer 2. I’d suggest you to learn new skills which can be required for Offer 1 alongside of your job.
If the money isn’t the factor then go for Offer 1, it will surely boost your profile, you will be exposed to many new things and working culture.
At the end it depends on you, what is your main purpose.
Good luck man.
Exactly this. Also Offer 2 doesn't sound like a place you should stay for long either. Since it's the same tech stack as yours and there's instability. If you're going for the Offer 2, get that money and startup experience and maybe switch again next year?
I guess I'll go with offer 1 then. I'm just a bit mad about them not discussing the salary with me properly before releasing the offer.
