Have an SDR offer at Dataminr and Databricks, absolutely lost as to who to pick.

Question

Both orgs have similar comp, with Minr having more of a concrete pathing, but Bricks having better quota attainment.

Bricks will also be asking me to relocate to a much more expensive COL state and no longer be remote. These two things are very important to be but i realize the caliber of Bricks and don't want to shoot myself in the foot by just focusing on remote.

Do you guys know anything about these two orgs and whats a better long term pick for a top Enterprise SDR/BDR?

Accepted Answer

What is the net logo retention of each org?

Answer

Based on tech I'd choose bricks

Answer

Relocation is not always a bad thing. But do what's best for you long term.

Answer

Bricks💯to me.

Answer

Databricks overhired a few years back, but it's a household name and critical for modern data stack

Answer

Something (slightly different) to consider is this: How will this logo look on your resume when interviewing in 2 years or in 5 years?

Answer

I don’t know anyone at Dataminr but I have worked with 5-10 people who are now at Databricks. The caliber of talent their is insanely strong.

Answer

Can't speak to the difference of the two companies, but relocation and no remote would be a massive no for me. That being said, relocation is a lot less common in the Great White North - only a few locations that anyone would really relocate to.

Answer

Pick the better boss, who works for an even better top line leader. Plenty of ways to assess the quality of either. DM me if interested. Ignore the comp and pick based on everything else and you will be your best self, produce the best mojo around you, and attract something even better as as a result.

If you're unhappy at home for $5k more, that $400 / month will cost you your next career move (potentially, there are no absolutes here)
