take the risk

#

mr take that risk

dense notch
#

Take da risk. If the team is actually that good, i think the EV is higher than C1 internship

potent solstice
#

the most important thing is to leave a good impression

#

the risk isn't really if it's going to work out or not (and then you'd have to head back into ng recruiting. I've also heard that if you drop out, you can come back within a certain number of years).

#

the main risk here is if you can perform or not

#

if you don't think you can perform and blow it out of the water to the point where those elite people you are working with will want you

#

then it's prob not worth taking. Prob better to take c1 in that case

#

from c1, with a T5, you'll land procs at better companies in 2 years

misty crag
#

would take the risk

#

u learn more

#

the only reason i'm considering c1 is cause i've never worked at big tech before

#

this shouldn't stop you from showing your skill set

#

the current environment prioritize skill more

naive lagoon
#

take the startup

#

full time > intern

#

if you can get c1 w current resume you can always get it again down the line with more startup exp

cloud verge
#

You doing your masters?

#

Are you a senior?

daring mortar
#

why intern then?

cloud verge
#

Yeah how did you even get passed the questionnaire as a senior

daring mortar
#

Did u try to push like fr fr? they dont allow even august start dat?

naive lagoon
#

startups usually don’t push because they don’t even know how things will be like even a few months later

#

and they need people to grind right away

cloud verge
#

Can I dm? @dusty jetty

daring mortar
#

they should def be open to delaying by 3 months lol

#

well c1 intern + startup ft is prolly ur best bet if u can pul it off

naive lagoon
daring mortar
#

Yea depends on the product too

#

Some problems need to be solved more urgently

daring mortar
#

In that case take the startup

#

The only case u take C1 is if ur genuinely a shit interviewer or are very risk averse

cold spruce
#

what kind of work would you do at the startup?

earnest vapor
#

Do it.

#

Working at a startup like that will change your perspective on everything in an incredible way

#

That experience is worth everything as someone just entering their 20s

#

Especially FT

fluid vortex
#

if the startup is cracked, it's worth

C1

#

Still livable imo

modest flax
#

100k base

#

Likely

#

C1 New Grad will pay more

daring mortar
#

Where did he say allat

#

C1 is similar

modest flax
#

I am just assuming because some is equity

modest flax
daring mortar
#

Also it’s an internship so u have 1 year opportunity cost

modest flax
#

If this startup was good they wouldnt pay 150k

daring mortar
modest flax
#

Still OP does not have any good prevs

#

If the startup fails

#

They will be jobless

daring mortar
#

Startup experience gaps for sure

modest flax
#

Exp yes

#

But you want some good backup option if everything goes haywire

daring mortar
#

If he’s risk averse then sure but I’d be more ambitious

modest flax
#

@dusty jetty what school are you

modest flax

#

I thought 120-150k TC

fluid vortex
#

so that number has to be base

#

idk what the stock number is tho

modest flax
#

120-150k base is good enough for startup

fluid vortex
#

ya i agree

#

obv if the startup is dying/has a shit product dont go there

#

but if the team is good and the problem seems reasonable, i think very worth

potent solstice
#

wait

#

so TC is just 120k-150k

#

so is the equity an add on

#

from what i'm reading, you're saying the equity isn't an add on

#

from what i'm reading, you're saying the equity isn't an add on

#

rather, it's something that, along with base salary, equals 150k TC

#

i see

#

burp

#

let me add you

sick musk
#

so they're valued at 75m as a series A?

#

that's pretty low

#

how much cash do they actually have

#

even if you get a year in at the startup, imo it's better than c1

sick musk
#

u cant check on crunchbase or smtn

#

if they’re just seed then ya, id be worried about them just dying. However if they raised seed a while back, then maybe they in the talks for raising their series A

#

you can just ask the founders or interviewer that

potent solstice
#

on discord

#

i suppose not

#

discord notif that says you're not open to being added

fluid vortex
#

o 10 is rly small

#

@dusty jetty u can check on forge if theyre on that

#

also if u want to dm i also recruited intern everywhere but then decided to go ng at a startup instead

#

so they value 0.1% of equity at 30k/year?
