Hi guys,
I'm currently 23 years old and need some advice.
I'm starting to invest in real estate and my plan is to retire in 10 years with it.
Right now I'm working at a sales job that I'm not passionate about. It's a 100% commission B2C, high volume, fast sales cycle, and I'm very good at it. On a very good week I can make around 3.5k and on a bad week around 800-1k. Most of the time I make around 2k/week and will make around 100k this year, which for my age is very good. My plan was to do this short term, buy some real estate and get out.
But, I just received a sales job offer in a tech start up. The technology is very promising and they grow very fast. This company is 1.5 years old, they have 25 employees and just received a 10M$ first round funding. Next year they plan to have 200 employees. The salary is 55k base + 12k performance bonus and the possibility to have stock options. If I choose this, my real estate business will grow a slower, but I'm very interested in the stock options with this kind of growth.
So I'm wondering, what do you guys think about this? Should I continue like I am or choose the start up?
Thank you very much in advance.
