I have had a rough go at unemployment (laid off back in March) where I went final rounds with three of my dream companies and in the final round, lost out. One was pretty close and they were going to go with me but said they had 3 more interviews to go through in order to do their due diligence. One candidate wowed them and they went with her.
So I am practically burning through savings at this time. Then a recruiter reaches out to me about a role at a Startup HQ'd in India. No role play, just three rounds with the founder, CEO, and head of HR. Basically, they said they liked that I spent 3 years at a company that is a leader in the space they are selling into.
The base is higher than I have ever had for an AE role. When I read the Glassdoor reviews, they were meh, with some claiming that the company made up customer stories on their page!
I am at a point where I am thinking how this may impact me long-term. Ideally, I want to work for the big boys in SaaS but right now the market is so tough.
Do I just take this role and see where it goes at this point?
