I am working in a Pre Seed GenAI Startup (2020 Founded) as Head of Engineering (Team of 20 with 5-6 in Engineering, No CTO)
It's been 3.5 years (3yrs Full Time + 6mon Internship) Previously it is in EdTech now in GenAI Space
My CTC is 8 LPA + 0.45% ESOPs (10-12L in 25cr valuation). Skills: Nodejs, Nextjs, Monorepos, MongoDB, AWS, Serverless
1-2yrs ago we were thinking about scaling the tech team, etc but then that EdTech model started failing and then we went to a war time after that we pivoted currently also we are burning money revenue is there but very less (25% of the expense)
I was of the view that I want to lead teams and scale products That's why I was there in the team It can be the case tomorrow if we scale
but Now I am confused whether I should switch my job and or stick with the startup maybe the startup grow tomorrow or a big VC fund us to scale (as I have ESOPs) or it will just be a waste of time or opportunity cost
Please guide 🙏 Anyone with a similar startup experience would really appreciate your help 🙏
Also, my org is also in the EdTech space 🫡🫡
Stuck in similar situation, but i have just 1 year of experience! Even im staying coz i want to lead teams and take the product/company to scale which in the later career might be very useful.
But for you, as you have invested already 3.5 years, i think now you should switch, considering early stage and lean team development experience, you can get a Pretty good hike. The fear of missing the early stage scale is a lot my friend, but thinking practically how much more time would you give to a org?
Happy to connect with like minded people to start learning and building together.
