Being recruited for one of the largest software startups out there, think 75b-200b private valuation. The role is a VP role on the engineering side and I’m being told there are only a few of these. Tons on the sales side. The VP title gives me pause but the recruiter tells me all SVPs and EVPs are part of the C suite. I’m also unsure how much growth they have in front of them. Any advise? They are on a VERY solid standing product wise.

Check who you’d be reporting into. Do you feel they are a competent leader you could go the distance with or someone who happened to be there at the right time but might possibly be out of their depth?

I'd go after it.

If you believe in the founders and you believe in the product be part of the opportunity. Learn from the growth.

For me, It's not all about the money or the title. I'm looking for high impact. Grow people, affect ecosystems.

Already $75-200B private valuation, in a frothy market that feels a little top heavy.

If you’re joining for equity growth, you’ll more likely than not be disappointed. If you’re joining for cash comp and the experience / learning - then it’s worth considering.
