Option 1: startup with non-Indian manager (core)

Option 2: FAANG+ with Indian manager + $100k-150k (support)

Which one should I take? I'm a Product Manager.

They'll probably IPO or get bought out (more likely); the equity is small, 7000 options at a strike price of $2.00, FMV is $20. The market cap is just shy of $1B.

That's more than a raw start up at $1B. What's the absolute comp and what area of the country? Who are the private equity investors? Can you clarify what you mean by core vs. support? Want to make sure my understanding is correct. I believe that you are always better off to be in the heart of a business instead of on the periphery. Which one offers better learning opportunities? How old are you/family situation? What is the general business area of the start up?

The better learning opportunities are from the startup no question. Yes, core is better. Total comp right now is $250k (including paper $ of $35k) vs $330k. I have 3 young kids, 1 in school and 2 not in school so the startup will be tricky.

It's in financial services. Not PE investors, but tier 3 VC firms. This is in the coasts.

At that comp level in high COL area and your situation I would pick FAANG. Probably better fringes and perks, too. That credential will be a good resume builder should you decide not to stay. Whether Indian boss is a + or - depends on the guy. I know plenty of dicks of other ethnicities.

Agreed on Indians fucking me over, it's in their blood. I probably will take the FAANG+ offer but I am having serious reservations over the manager. At lease he's not ex-Amazon.

I can’t Begin to describe how manny times I was pwnd by greasy fat fraud Indian pieces of shit as a naive founder looking to do honest business with 3rd party vendors

Thankfully I learned and actually stole some of their trade secrets and IP that was serviceable in the process before they could unload hot korma in my bizs gaped fuckhold

The only thing I'll add is that there's a higher chance of earning $500k+ after 2-3 years if I take the startup role because of the scope and nature of the work, IF I can survive that long and launch some revenue generating shit.
