I understand wanting a quick answers so they can offer the job to candidate B or C before they accept other offers.

But offering it to several people at once is not only really weird. It also a really poor algorithm. These people are bad engineers, and you do not want to work with them!

Your interviewing and skills insecurities are a whole separate topic.

When you go to a startup, you need to be ready for the job to end any day. If your current job is more secure, think about if you want to lose that.

> These people are bad engineers

By OP's own admission, he's a bad engineer too. He should take it if the money is acceptable and he likes the company.

no, if you're a bad engineer you really want to work with people who are "doing it right", so that you can learn from them.
