Should I choose 45L or wait for FAANG?
I have received an offer from B2B startup, fairly early stage bootstrapped and going for series A this year. Base 45 JB 2 Variable 12% And esops worth 30L over four years Role SDE 2 YOE 3.5 should i still try for faang or go with this for a year, i really liked the people and team here and they are fully commited to making this startup a success and even their last company got accquired.
At this experience really good offer,do join.
You can join faang anytime later.
During this job hunt, what i realised is that I dont have big names on my resume expect tier1 college, and due to this I really didnt got any callback from either google or msft
I am not sure if that's the case because I have got calls from Google atleast though my resume had startups only, maybe it could be current market.
Believe me or not you have got a wonderful offer atleast in terms of numbers

hey, OT but how are you scouting for such startups? or was it they contacted you on their own? and did the interview process involve DSA?
btw congrats, thats one awesome offer
I was approached by the HR, i had profile across all the hiring platforms, naukri, instahire, wellfound blahh.
Interview process did not involve dsa straightforward, but yeah problem solving lead to use of optimised algorithms and majorly interviews were all about solving multiple system design problems more focused on lld and problem solving skills to break down the statement

Hi OP, I am currently 7 Months experienced, It would be of great help if you can answer these questions,
1) How did you keep yourself updated?
2) How did you learn LLD/HLD
3) Advice for junior engineers?
Hey I feel tbh we have over complicated this whole process and there is not much expected when you interview, there are primarily just three kinds of rounds, DSA, lld and hld.
DSA is all about practice and you already have neetcode150 and then leetcode faang question sets, every xyz company asks the same kind of questions
LLD is all about knowing OOPS and SOLID principles, and then practicing, dedicate two hours and do your machine coding round, pick questions from the internet and you will also have the solution somewhere to check and improve your thinking
HLD there are two great channels, hello interview and jordan has no life, go watch them religiously, thats all you need.
And do remember there are shitty interviewers, who would expect you to know specific things, just ignore those and primarily focus on problem solving skills and first principle thinking.

Founder with good credentials. Go ahead. Faang will be a gateway to a stable and slow life. If you believe in the product, give them a shot.
Go for this Job then stay for about a year or so. I expect that even though they are early stage they will hire only if they have 1year cash reserve to support it because they plan for series A soon.
I don’t expect them to have 2nd year cash reserve given that it’s bootstrapped and are paying such high salaries. They are probably relying on Series A or profitability( which seems far fetched this early).
But it is safe to say you can stay there for a year. If things go south you can always excuse that you believe in the mission and learned a lot and was required to take charge of work frequently. Basically sell the next employer on what all you learned in this highly unstable role where the startup could shut down and workforce was also lean to begin with.
Companies appreciate if you are early engineer in a startup or have tried one yourself. It really polished your resume. There are over 50k workforce EACH in Google, Meta, MSFT, etc all over the world working in FAANG. You can go there anytime, more the experience the better it is.
Your base pay is way better than many people bro so If you like the team and work better to stay for some time and give a chance to this company and then if you want, ucan go for FAANG but people in these kinds of startups also grow in terms of pay and work both. Rest is upto you

I would choose 45L
Waiting for some other offer (FAANG or not) doesn't make sense in this market

Startups add more value to your resume. If you work around a good team and exposure to startups, then getting into FAANG would be easier. Just blindly go for it
Bro/sister,
My current package is 5lpa
Could pls help with the road map or resource to get a 10-15 lpa package.

Is it remote?
Why not both? Also depends on your current pay. 45 is nothing if you already earn 40.
