Making the Right Career Move - How to Assess A Startup Offer?
Updated: Mar 5, 2020
TalentSeer & Women In Big Data Career Coaching Meetup
High-tech startups in Silicon Valley are offering exciting career opportunities every day. While getting a startup job offer can be exhilarating and relieving, accepting a startup offer would require careful evaluation of the whole package - compensation, equity, benefits, responsibilities, risks, and long-term pay-off. It is important to understand exactly what a startup offer entails to make the right career move.
This meetup hosted by TalentSeer aims to prepare you with the essential knowledge to assess a startup offer comprehensively and to share experience & advice from professionals who have worked in both corporate and startup environments.
