A recruiter reached out from a PE Portco for a director of growth strategy role. Is 300k cash comp a reasonable target for HCOL area? Will WLB be better than consulting or is it consulting hours with less pay?

Depends on size of company. I have $300K cash offer + equity for a ~$200M rev portco (VP Corp Dev).

I think on avg WLB sits somewhere between corporate and consulting, but highly dependent on management team, PE firm, company strength (I.e., growth play or turnaround), etc.

How is the equity structured

Following. 300 sounds reasonable.

What about equity?

$300k should be reasonable. Any variable comp? How much experience you have?

Your comp seems fair

Ask about the relationship between the pe firm and the company. Will you really be able to drive growth strategy or will you be project managing what they’ve already decided?

I wouldnt expect better wlb but I guess depends on the culture/relationship and your current wlb. We are pretty micromanaged and under constant pressure to grow, reduce cost, etc. Comp is great though.

Lol honestly I’ve seen some portco CEOs not make that much

I’m contracting with a company in an admin role, but sometimes I’m asked to do projects that would normally be outsourced to a marketing or design company like designing a flyer for example. It’s not in my job description, but I have the skills to do this work and so why not ask me to do it? Is it out of the question to ask if I can be paid for that work under a separate fee as a consultant or something? Is that even possible?
