Anyone have experience or tips for transitioning from tech to a SMB? I work for a mid-sized tech co. with great benefits (wfh, flexible, unlimited time off) that is pretty toxic and to be honest, I'm burnt out. I'm interviewing at a local business that sounds like a great opportunity, environment and so far I'm pretty excited about what the job would be but I'm a little worried that it's just too different. It's more in person, 35 min commute, limited time off but family friendly.

I have been talking to a recruiter for a little over a month about a position. I let her know out the gate that I really wasn’t looking to change jobs, but she just kept wanting to continuing the conversation. I didn’t have 2 interviews with the hiring coming and they know that I am not really looking to make a switch. They are now working on an offer letter and I know they’re going to offer me more money. I’m having my annual review this week. Any advice on how to handle a) job offer b) review?

Hi! I have many years of experience in Compensation and Benefits (HR) strategies to attract, retain and motivate talents in big corporations. I want to find a way to bring solutions for startups and entrepeneurs that are already in the need of such support for their own companies. I want to find ways to bring meaningful and practical solutions at reasonable costs for these organizations. Any ideas on how to become aware of their specific needs? C&B, talent management, performance appraisal.
