If you’ve been at a few successful startups and are currently director level at one - is it worth it to jump to a not as good company if they make you a VP and pay 35% more?
Don't leave us ;)
Not as good companies die, and many have 20 VP s
What if you’re pretty certain this new shop won’t die and the number of vps is very minimal
More serious answer, introspect carefully what you want out of your next job and what's making you leave the current one. The network you build matters a lot for career progression. Where will you build the better network?
So what's the risk or concern here ? Promo with 35% bump and new venture...
Main concern is the pedigree of companies and how much that is a factor vs title etc - love to hear your thoughts
Appreciate the thoughtful reply - I guess the very specific point that I’m trying to understand is how much a logo matters on a resume vs the scope of the role. Assuming the company isn’t some known bad actor like theranos.
It makes sense. The only issue is VP and upper levels are only available through connections. If you loose this VP position, you’ll have use connections to get another one. Or get back to director role.
Do you think the lower trajectory company would hurt chances of future vp roles?
Sounds more of prestige issue on your end. If that's it, say no. As for lower trajectory... You're going to be VP, it's your job to make that trajectory go higher.
Prestige sure but there is the comp is the team I’d lead would be global vs domestic and larger in size. I’d say it’s a trade off on experience being a large scale operator vs experience in hyper growth with less operational scale
