Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

Role : SDE 1, backend
YOP: 1.5 years

TLDR : I've received a job offer from a startup in Bengaluru with a base package of 14LPA. This opportunity came through a connection who holds a senior position in the company. Currently, I'm employed at an early-stage startup with a small team, working on a great product, with a package of 10LPA.

The story behind this: 
I was laid off from my previous company due to their financial issues. At that time, I informed my manager to keep me in mind for any future opportunities. Subsequently, I joined a smaller startup with a 20% increase in salary as a SDE 1. I am happy with my work-life balance and satisfied with my role in building a successful product with a substantial customer base.

Recently, my previous manager, now in a senior position at a mid-sized startup, referred me for a role. Although my second-round interview didn't go perfectly, I've been offered the position based on his positive feedback, and they are offering me a base salary of 14LPA.

I have responsibility in my current company and my resignation will effect their timeline. also i don't want to ruin my connection with my manage also who offered me the new job.

I'm uncertain about what decision to make. Any advice?

Need advice. Which company to choose.

I have 8 years of experience working as a software Engineer, i worked for 3 startups in these 8 years, Now I am planning to switch and I have 2 offers one from a seed stage start-up and one from Faang like company. What should I choose. I am more into front end development, pay in startup is 10% less which is not a concern for me. I like working in startups, my only concern is how it will affect me in the long term maybe after 5-10 years.

Help me decide Startup vs Faang like company.

I recently got offer from an early stage startup in banglore. They raised a total funding of $5.19M over 2 rounds.

My offer is 13 LPA + 1 lakh retention bonus
5k per month for commute and health insurance

I have past experience of 2 years working with 2 startups and building apps from scratch for them.

Honestly I'm really confused about this offer, it is for sure better than my previous offer but I'm not feeling satisfied.

Any suggestions guys?

Should I join?

Welcome to Office Gossip's Private Community

I am Interning at a very early stage startup in the Growth Team. My stipend is ₹15,000 p/m and the work is decent - community mgmt, content, product gamification & market research. It’s a pre-seed startup so sometimes I feel lack of resources are putting a cap on my abilities to execute. Though, the founder has assured that we’re close to raising pre seed. I am pretty good friends with the Founder and I’ve met him a few times.
Now, coming to the main part of problem - I casually applied for an Internship in a early stage startup but the team is sorted. They have funds and their founding team is super experienced. Stipend offered is 2x of what I’m getting.
I was wondering If I should opt for that? Or, keep my head down and work for the same startup, ignoring the money aspect? Pls lmk folks.

Optimise for Work or Money?

Have an offer from a startup with ~20 LPA (fixed + bonuses). Also, going to get an offer from Gameskraft in the coming days. Any ideas on what is the compensation they offer to freshers?

The 2022 data was: 16 L(base) + 2 L(recurring bonus) + 15 L(ESOPs over 4 years).

Any suggestions on what to do? Thanks!

Offer evaluation - Fresher

I am a final year student. I have an oncampus offer from Tekion (Chennai) which is a 6M Internship(onsite) + FTE offer. The offer is low compared to other standard Tekion SDE-1 offers. 
I also have a offer from an early age web3 startup ($3M seed funding). The offer is an internship(remote) + FTE offer and FTE compensation is almost 1.5x times that of former.

Which company should I join? Will the name of Tekion internship on my resume help me get interviews of other better startups for FTE while applying offcampus?

Established startup vs Early seed Startup

I'm currently a SWE intern at a Series A startup (loss making) and they have offered me a full-time role. They have 2 years of runway.

I also have an offer from a very recently funded seed stage startup (pre revenue) with the same runway. It is a team of 13 people.

As a fresh grad, considering similar pay and growth opportunities, which one should I join?

Good time to join an early stage startup as a fresher?

Welcome to Product Managers's Private Community

Currently in an MNC at a non-tech product role @ 6.5LPA, the manager is amazing and the team is chill. Work is also fun but the company didn't give appraisals this year.

A brand new startup approached me and is offering 10lpa fixed.

This will be my first ever switch, should I dew it?

I'm 22.

Switch or Don't? Startup offering 10lpa

Associate Product Manager

Here is my background:-
1. Started Working as a full stack intern at a startup at 10K per month in April 2021. (Let's refer to this startup as A).
2. Joined A as FTE at 8LPA in Jan 2022.
3. Graduated in June 2022.
4. Salary got increased to 12LPA in July 2022.
5. The startup (A) was acquired in Feb 2023 by a big fintech and salary was increased to 18 LPA (14.4 Fixed, rest variable).

Considering my experience and salary, should I think about a company switch?

Honestly I do think that my learnings have become stagnant lately, I want to explore new tech which I am unable to do now.

What do you all think?

Please give me your honest opinion 🙏

Welcome to Confessions's Private Community

You're offered two jobs. A high-paying role at a established company or a lower-paying position at a promising startup. Which do you choose and why?

I used to work in a early stage startup. Got selected from campus placement and they provided hefty fix pay(16 lpa) + 16 lpa ( spread across 4 years including esop and bonus) (totally fraud to come on day 0 in IIT). They now fired me. I interview at many startup and they are expecting too much from 6 months experience candidate. I am in between of offer from Deloite but they are only paying (11 lpa fix). What shall i do? According to market shall i take a downball or need to keep patience?

Downball?

Hi folks, thinking of writing a regular mini blog here about my learnings being a generalist in the ecosystem.
I currently handle growth at an ecom startup and have previously been through 2-3 startups + a large corporate in my 7 year career.

#1: Why you should not stay only in startups

Recently started reflecting on salaries of many peers who are also startup folks and trying to see where it stands.
There are 3 cohorts:
a. People who started out in Big 4/Corporate & then became a generalist: They've been underpaid the most. First pay was 4-5L, and when they transitioned to startups, started at 7-9L. Over time, growing from there is difficult without MBA.

b. People who have forever been in startups: They earn more than A on average. But here too, there is a delta in their salaries vs. people with same YoE who went to an MBA and are in corporate now. Side note: I've seen this cohort has usually loved what they've done, and being in startups definitely has positively impacted their thought process.

c. People who went to a corporate/big tech etc. mid way: This cohort has done the best long term. Their pay got recalibrated when they went to a larger company in the middle through their career, and when they rejoined startups, they were respected more in salary negotiation.

This is to anybody out there who is a generalist and sees a similar path. Try to sandwich a proper, large company in your career. It gives you perspective on whether you like it and if startups is really your preferred route. And it also recalibrates your pay.

Startups will limit you basis your last salary. Corporates have standards basis bands. Just something to think over.

NOTE: Do share feedback, if this makes sense. And if you'd like to read more of these too.

The Generalist - #1: Why you should not stay only in startups

Not only compensation, corporates help you to learn saying “NO” to not-related tasks. I see young startup folks in the name of “learning” are forced to do anything and everything. In my first startup role, I was handling the responsibilities of a PM + ops, which burnt me like anything without any significant skills gain. Corporate taught me delegation, saying “No” to things which aren’t part of your team.

What should I am for?
- A well named startup or company at slightly lower pay?

- A high payed salary from the startup or a company that no one ever heared of...

Example:
Currently I am making 12 LPA as a marketer.
But I am worried about my future as I am finding it tougher to get hired for salary anything above than this. 

How about working at a fancy startup? (meesho, sugar, CRED, etc.) at a lower pay like 10 LPA - will it secure my future? As people prefer to hire ex-employee from these fancy startups. 

Or should I be searching for a 15 LPA or 20 LPA job but from a company or startup that no one ever heard about, adding no value to my CV while working there

What should I choose?

I have been interviewing for my next role and was interviewed by a well funded startup with high EBIDTA margins, great management but when it came to offer they offered me 10% to what I currently draw.  The CHRO stated that we are a startup and not a well established multinational firm who can pay well.  On the other hand the multi national company offered me 15% hike on my existing and their VP HR stated we are not some well funded startup who can pay well.  Now this makes me wonder who is actually paying well.  I have not shared my offers with either as it's against my negotiating principals to use offers against companies. .  I can negotiate based on my skills and talent.  It's a position of chief information security officer at the start up and Director Infosec at MNC.  Job profile is mostly same.
