Hi there leetcode community,

My senior has started his own startup and he's currently the CTO there. He has offered me to join his startup at the same base package + 0.2 % ESOP of the startup.

The startup is India based, it has raised 400k USD as pre-seed funding round. They're planning to go for series A in a year or exit completely by selling to big company. This is the only reason why I am looking to join the startup; i.e to make big money in short time. The senior has also convinced me I would be able to achieve finanical freedom, etc. I am ready to take the risk; the only problem is I think if this doesn't workout the way I planned (in most cases) what will I lose?

If I do some prep for 3-4 months, I would easily land a SDE - 2 Job at top FAANG / startups / etc.

It is an edtech startup, wouldn't be able to disclose the startup name or current company name.

Current CTC: 16 LPA (INR)
