Ask HN: How do I evaluate different opportunities?
I'm in unexplored territory in my life. After teaching myself web development for a couple months I finally got a contract-to-hire gig with a startup. I love the company and believe in the product, but they're not currently in a position to make any promises about employment.
However, I recently had the opportunity to meet with the founders of a consulting agency that is expanding really quickly. They're interested in hiring me full time.
Being new to the work force, especially the startup scene, how do I evaluate these two opportunities? What questions should I ask, in terms of compensation (both monetary and otherwise) to influence my decision?
