Neither. If it's an option, I would suggest a late stage startup (Series C or later). Such companies give you the advantage of being less risky, and having enough structure to support folks that are new to the industry. They can also still have big challenges with impact and untapped growth which help you learn more in your career. The downside is that you may see less financial upside compared to Google or Facebook and you will have less liquidity until the startup goes public or gets acquired by a public company. You will need to do more homework and research to understand a late stage startup's potential, see how strong the team is, etc. If you go to a big company like Google, you can assume all those things are solid so it's less to be concerned about.
