Been in media for 3 years (social to be exact). Now I feel like I want to join a startup where I can drive impact and growth. Had a realization the other day that I’ve always enjoyed being the scrappy underdog . Anybody know a good way to go about finding a startup job ?

But you can drive growth at other companies that are not start ups. Established Tech, SaaS, FinTech.

Startups also provide ambiguity, require some risk tolerance and requirement to do more than just your role.

I reached out to small companies that seemed like they might be expanding to include my profession. A bunch were interested but had not gotten there yet. But I did eventually find one and we are growing like crazy! Like at a rate where its hard to keep up at times.

What is your background? I might have a potential recommendation to reach out to someone.

Send me a DM. Might have an interesting opportunity for you!

I’ve been in my current role for less than a year and within my first 6 months multiple managers left as well as my hiring manager and multiple developers on a team I manage. I was kind of thrown to the wolves which is fine but recently another manager was just hired in the next pay grade who is walking into a much better position. Worst part is my new manager didn’t even know my title wasn’t the next level. When do I bring up that I feel I should be moved to the next level as well?

Pretty highly rated consistently and up for director this year. For years been thinking of starting a business (franchise). Pandemic has put a dent in that but still viable option.

Long story short- my position is being subcontracted and likely means a pay cut. My wife and I moved 1300miles for this job less than 6m ago.

We obviously don’t want to move again so quickly, and I’m more of a wet lab scientist so remote work isn’t much of a thing. I currently have an offer for 30% more than my uncut salary, local, but it’s a step down in position (Scientist to Research Coordinator). Do I take the money? Or is the title more important?
