Pick the unicorn.

* Your stock options should be worth a lot more down the road. * It's fun and a better learning experience to be part of a growing company. * The unicorn's name will also look good on your CV. So don't pick the giant for that reason.

Imagine joining Google or Facebook when they were small and considered a unicorn!

Of course there's the unlikely scenario that the unicorn will fail but even then the overall experience will teach you a lot more.

>The unlikely scenario that the unicorn will fail

Why is this the 'unlikely' scenario, and not the likely scenario?

I am really curious on what unicorn OP is talking about.
