Unreal salary opportunity or y combinator
I’m an analyst 2 at an EB and got into Y Combinator for the Fall 2025 batch. I don’t have any product, just an idea and would probably end up pivoting.
Alternatively,
I also got an offer from my friends family business to do Corp dev where I would make 200k base and 250k bonus guaranteed in a tier 2 city. I’d work 9-6 probably.
Which is a better option? My dream was to always do startup. Thank you!
depends on the idea + team
450k in corp dev is also basically a startup level outcome on steroids
Wdym startup level steroids
450k recurring comp for a few years is better than the median outcome of a startup after a few years (including salary + exit if any)
450k recurring for corp dev already beats most PE offers...
curious about your ycombinator experience; did u pitch AI automation in finance workflows
450k guaranteed at a friends family business is the dream man
Don’t overthink it. Eventually you can skip work and go golfing with his dad, while still getting paid
Decided to take YC
YOLO
Thanks for the advice
