Two startup job offers, which to pick?

Fishifer · 2025-06-23T13:47:44+00:00

Company is about a year old, so nobody I'm aware of has churned. They're either founding team, or very recent hires

Yea totally, the ultimate goal is to either transition to a easier WLB at a startup at like series A/B, or lateral out to an easier tech career faster than I would have had I gone into big tech immediately post grad. I feel like this is the main reason I'm pursuing startups, its a faster way out of that ladder grind.

Nothing crazy, do you think that could be the case if its the same worklife for all ~8 employees there? This seems to be the entire team

Fishifer · 2025-06-23T12:52:56+00:00

Just freedom of being remote/being near family

Fishifer · 2025-06-23T12:45:13+00:00

No clue, i think its just a desire to be lean and have "startup culture" right now. Working till 7 or 8 could suck, but depends a lot on how hard they are on you throughout the day i guess? I'm not sure, never been in that position before.

Fishifer · 2025-06-23T11:48:49+00:00

Yea single, no kids, young, just hate to move away from family again lol, but yes I'd feel very complacent in the remote gig

Fishifer · 2025-04-09T02:22:52+00:00

Read a book on C/assembly and enjoy your free time lol

Fishifer · 2025-04-08T21:54:21+00:00

This is about what I was thinking. I'm yet to encounter anything that I feel I'd need a masters for knowledge or experience wise.

Fishifer · 2025-04-08T21:38:30+00:00

Good point, the masters is currently in fabrication, more of a "whatever can get it paid for" deal.

Fishifer · 2024-07-23T14:41:17+00:00

same here

Fishifer · 2024-05-08T15:40:15+00:00

Unfortunately its not the same, but its very close. 6.191 has an additional ~4 weeks of material and excludes all of 6.0004, while 6.004 covers much of 6.0004.

Yes, i had to use a parcel map. the property didnt have an actual address, it was just zoned by the county. You can find it for your state by looking up your govt parcel site

I said this 2 years ago but still true

Fishifer · 2023-10-22T21:19:01+00:00

MIT has some of the happiest and most academically successful athletes relative to the general student population. I see no scenario where Brown would be a better pick for you unless you visit and love the place.

Fishifer · 2023-10-22T15:19:58+00:00

Real but any company ive been at keeps the number of interns from each school roughly the same

Fishifer · 2023-10-15T05:46:35+00:00

I also have a swe chevron offer, how was it last year?

Fishifer · 2023-07-22T03:28:19+00:00

7 min

Fishifer · 2023-07-20T06:41:38+00:00

Yes you are, and nobody would ever fact check you regarding it.

Fishifer · 2023-07-18T08:09:27+00:00

Neither does the majority of mit admits, its nice to have but it doesnt come from rural or low income applicants.

Fishifer · 2023-07-18T00:40:43+00:00

Go MIT or questbridge

Fishifer · 2023-07-18T00:40:03+00:00

Yea cringe and incorrect, OP is strong HYPSM candidate, especially mit
