Square Veeva @teletracking
Trying to decide between 3 offers remote/Columbus
Square is 84k salary 5k bonus and 80k stocks vesting over 4 years
Veeva is 100k salary 20k bonus and 25k Stocks each year forever
Teletracking is 125k cash 5k bonus
I know about Square the most and if they paid closer to Veeva and Teletracking I’d probably go there but it seems like they underpay.
The Veeva culture seems really good but it’s a sustaining engineer position for year 1 so debugging

Are you leaving for a new partner within the same agency? Or are you taking a new job?
If it’s a new partner at the same agency, see if your cd will be willing to word it as their idea—“we need so and so to partner with so and so”
If it’s a new job you tell them, “hey this is a great opportunity for me and I can’t turn it down, especially in this job market. Let’s get drinks before I go”
Either way, no need to sit them down and say “I don’t like working with you anymore”

Wait, you were friends?
If you both are no longer working towards the same goals and that’s causing friction it’s time to end it especially if you’d like to maintain the friendship. I’d suggest finding a different agency to go to alone, that’s the cleanest break. Or if your agency is full of floaters and changing partners suggest a change.
The easiest path is getting another job elsewhere and explaining it as an opportunity you couldn’t pass up, despite wanting to stay together.
Experiencing this now, looking for a new job so I can make a clean break. That being said, If you’re not feeling like it’s working, I’m sure they’re sensing it too.

The partnership worked for a long time and it’s “no longer working “? How did that happen? How long were you partners for?
Easiest way is to find a new job. My old partner and I were not a great fit for each other after awhile because we had different priorities. So, it caused friction. We probably should’ve ended things years earlier.
But, we’re still friends. I consider her a good friend, too. It’s been at least five years since we were partnered, and we’re both doing fine.
On the job front, you can tell them you’re looking around for the next thing as a heads up in casual conversation. So, the opportunity won’t come out of nowhere.
Y’all aren’t friends????
