EDIT2: I think most of the people who are giving me the title of being toxic etc are having the same thoughts as I do. Without knowing and working with me they have formed an opinion based on the discussion we had in this post. Anyway this doesn’t bother me as that’s the same reason I am sceptical to work under a person who has lesser number of YOE in that field. I have got a pretty amazing network and have always got good feedback about my soft skills from my peers, juniors, seniors and MANAGERS. So these negative words don’t matter.
Also, Guys there is a reason that with a role there is a YOE tied to it and also there is a reasons levels exists in this world.
Anyway I am out of this poll now as it seems most of the people are not even willing to understand the rational behind this poll/discussion. I did get some good suggestions as well, thanks everyone.
For the people who are living in a bubble that anyone can report anyone, Grow up and take a look at life outside FAANGMULA.
EDIT: Based on people’s responses it feels the main point is being missed so trying to clarify:
I don’t mind reporting to a “Manager” even if he has just 1 year of experience in the industry because it’s a different ladder and skill set all together. This is not about AGE but about relevant experience in the domain I am working on.
I am skeptical about reporting to a person in the same technical ladder as mine having more than half the experience I have.

Hello People,
I recently received an offer from a company(can’t disclose name not a FAANGMULA or big IT name). The final interview was taken by the VP and I was under an impression that I would report to the VP. In the offer letter it was not mentioned whom I would report to. Today I came to know that I would be reporting to the lead who is almost 6 years junior to me in the industry.
I don’t want to sound like a jerk but I have had difficulties dealing with some less experienced leaders. I have already accepted the offer and now don’t feel like joining. What should I do ?
YOE: 12
Location: Vancouver
Current TC: 120K + 80k(RSU, bonus etc)
Current designation: Staff Engineer currently reporting to the director
New TC: 150k + 100k(RSU, bonus etc)

option 2: decline offer u r clearly going to be unhappy there
Thanks for the polite suggestion to think before I respond 🙄 you’re right, the young managers are the ones with the problem communicating and inflated ego.
I have had bad experiences with immature leads in the past and hence this post.
