Back up job -Quantity; dream job - quality

They are dependent variables, so you can't just maximize 1 over another. Quality of connections * Quality of profile/materials * Quality of interview prep * Quantity of apps * luck

Numbers game but but extra focus in dream jobs

Looking at exits into pharma and biotech. Have an opp at a biotech at the SM level. Total comp excluding equity is around $190k; RSUs vest over 4 years with annual refreshers, so first year equity would be around $6,200 and it would go up by $6,200 each of the next 3 years, plus whatever base bump I get. Very good benefits package.

They envision 2-3 years before I jump either to AD or right to D. Solid opp? Or hold out to go straight to director level?
