Caught btw 2 exit oppties for same firm:

a) CSO/VP: stretch role; serves as officer on board
b) Director: role is a bit junior for me and firm is unwilling to step it to Sr Director.

Thoughts?

What’s the debate? If you are considered a viable candidate for option a, why wouldn’t you pursue that? Clearly you feel option b is a step backwards.

I agree common sense points to A, but still trying to convince myself that I can step up to the plate. Would be a huge display of imposter syndrome. Lol

A

A, duh. Don’t sell yourself short. Take the opportunity to grow.

Also how is the same firm so incompetent to offer you two completely different jobs at the same time

Lol. The firm is a close client of my practice and I’ve done a lot of work for their leadership team, so I’m privy to things like this. It just happens that I’m now the one considering the options.

Not sure I understand - you have a C level offer and a junior Director offer from the same firm. And you’re having a problem choosing? Whatever you do, don’t tell the firm’s left hand what the right hand is doing, else hey rescind the C level offer!

I’m interviewing for a marketing manager role at a company based in SF. I’m genuinely excited about the role and the company but we’ve yet to discuss salary.

I’ve got 5 very relevant years of experience and will have an associate manager directly reporting to me. Are there any marketers out there who can share their salaries in similar regions and experience levels?

I was just talking to a younger friend who goes to Cal and It seems like the kids these days hate FAANG or at least Amazon and Facebook are not desired at all. I personally don’t see too many issues working at either Amazon or Facebook because I work at Deloitte where I’m sure we have many questionable clients and worked in financial services before. Curious on whether people are thinking about the ethics of their exit company when deciding to move?
