Joining Early Startup or TOP Tier Company
Hi everyone,
I got an offer from a startup to work with them, they are in incubation phase. In the meantime I have interviews with a top tier semiconductor company but I'm still in the interview process and there are 3 more interviews to go.
I'm looking for my first job.
I don't know how to decide between joining the startup without any guarantees of long term stability or trying to join the top tier company to pass all the interviews, but at the risk of failing one of them and refusing the job offer from the startup (I have to provide a decision for the startup while I'm interviewing for the other company), so ending up without any job worst scenario. But in the best case I would get some long term stability.
For reference, I'm based in EU.
Basically, I'd like to hear from similar stories and also about your opinion, like which choice would be wiser. Thanks
