My dream job is CTO / founder at a tech company. I've attempted a few ideas but nothing's taken off so I'm trying to do the next best thing in someone else's company.

I get to hire the team.

Good point re: equity, I was trying to say compensation is competitive for both situations.

This is a great point. No one might care if I have a big shot title at a company no one has ever heard of.

The guy at the 'better' company seems kinder and has more experience. The smaller company guy is younger and less experienced and tougher. Probably would be "easier" to work for the former, but I don't know if I would develop as much professionally.

Thanks for your response! Could you explain why?

Ask HN: Accept better position or better company?

from the ask-hn dept.

I'm trying to decide between 2 offers. One is a better position - I would be running a small team doing some cool tech, but I'm not so sure about the company.The other is a worse position - I would be the equivalent of ON the team, not running it, but the company is "better" (better investors, people seem smarter, are closer to market).Assume I'm making competitive compensation in both places...
