Making the Right Career Move: How to Assess A Startup Offer? Diversity Career Coaching Meetup by TalentSeer, Robin.ly & Women In Big Data

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.
