I would.

Assuming cash bonus? Would try for equity too.

like

Yeah cash bonus. Good point I’ll ask for that.

I’d take it

like

Take it. If you wait till director the exit opportunity is going to literally be identical. But I would agree to ask for some equity too.

like

Yes you should

like

If you think the role will be accretive toward your overall skill set and where you’d like to grow and develop then definitely take it. Do you see yourself at companies of this size in the future? It may be more difficult to go big after jumping to a smaller company. Are you certain that partnership isn’t a realistic goal? You are not too far out.

Regarding the comp - I would expect cash bonus and equity as part of this deal given the title and size of company with total compensation closer to >$250k.

like

Yes. What is the hesitation?

I think it would be a great opportunity as long as the company is in a growing industry.

I think it would be accretive to my skill set. I definitely don’t want to jump for subpar comp. I could just be really burnt out and need some time off....this whole year has been rough in PA.

Friends, need some feedback on an idea:

I’m thinking of starting a podcast interviewing leaders at startups about their experience with specific challenges - I know, cliche, get a more original hobby, etc.

Not looking for the narrative arc of How I Built This or Masters of Scale. Instead, looking to uncover specific problems faced by companies that tried something new for the first time. What did they not see coming, how did they adapt and measure, etc.

What are your thoughts on this format?
