school or FT startup

[fossil onyx]

Stay in school and work at faang+ or ur unicorn

and keep doing contract work

Unless you’re super interested in the startup and believe in its potential

can u nepo me

pls

[fossil onyx]

If you get 240k all cash tc

then go startip for a few yrs lol

[mossy trellis]

how do you get contract work

for a startup

[fossil onyx]

unless your unicorn or faang offer is also rlly good

hm

i feel like growth and promos at the non startup places would be more well defined

so its kinda iffy

so you might make like 280 tc after just a year

wlb would likely also be better

so im not sure

taking time off school to work at startup was very worth it for me. assuming your school lets u take leave, u could always join FT for a year and go back. i personally think this is more valuable than doing just a summer intern at faang

whether you want equity should be based on you belief of potential to grow

[long flame]

i think you will learn more at startup and grow more in skills

180 k is good salary you can't really do much better in tech

can't you grad now

and do the startup

ohh wait nvm no

i thought you coul graduate

yea if you can graduate slam dunk join the startup

if you can't just try to honestly

that will help ur career a lot

usually I’m like experience trumps school, but if you already have an RO from a unicorn and will probably get FAANG+ stay in school and do that over the summer. I highly recommend graduating tbh

[glass tangle]

well, you have heard of entrepreneurs dropping out of school so
