Brand Name Vs Higher Salary Offer

Company A: Salary = $150k for senior manager position. Company isn’t well known and raised a $60mill series B.

Company B: Salary = $115k for mid manager position. Company is brand name, on the stock exchange and valued at $20 billion.

Both jobs will be doing the same exact thing. Which one do I choose?

Higher salary. Qualify for more loans, better apartments, expedite your savings faster. Always keep looking for back-ups and use this pay scale for your new benchmark when looking for other opportunities.

A, better title for future growth and more money. Big names aren’t paying your mortgage or filling your retirement fund. My last choice of positions came down to 401k match and vesting; 5% match, immediate vesting vs 6%, 3 -5 year progressive vesting.

like

I like option A way more.
It’s probably more nimble, probably will allow vesting faster, probably PTO is higher or more negotiable, plus you’ll like the checks.
I work at a huge brand company and it’s awful

I’d take the better title and salary at A, unless you don’t think they’re stable/well positioned. If they raised a $60m series B round they may not be an eye popping name on your resume but they’re big/established enough that it definitely won’t hurt you (and there’s a good chance they grow bigger while you’re there if that $60m was recent).

like

Depends where you are in life and what you need now. I would also look at other benefits too and what the progression is like at company b. Why not try to negotiate a higher package at company b?

Higher salary, better title, higher company growth potential. What’s wrong with that?

like

What about stock? Company A sounds like they’d give better RSUs/options.

At this level and spread, the $$$ difference is semi negligible. I’d recommend focusing on who the direct supervisor is for each role and the relative level of influence that person and his/her team (ie. You) have as a function for your growth path. What good is an extra $35k gross now if the upward mobility is stagnant or they go through a round of layoffs? Think long AND short term

Will HR reject me stating this reason in HCL ?? FYI- Client and the project team wants to take him in as per their feedback to me and I feel i am the right person for the role too .. 9 years exp -Infra storage domain .

I work at a small agency. I asked for a raise and was told you can get one in a few months if you do X,Y,Z but also keep in mind you make (on the low end of) what your position should make.

My question is—I wear many hats within my agency because we’re small and growing—So while I may be an art director, when needed I’m also a PA, or a production designer etc... SO shouldn’t my salary reflect that??

I asked for a raise since I’ve been at my company for 1 year and because cost of living is up 6%. My boss recommended I hold off asking for a raise now and in 6 months he’ll see if I can get a promotion with a bigger raise bump.

He said even if I ask for a COL adjustment now it may make it harder to get the CEO to agree to a promotion in 6 months.

Thoughts?
