Considering an offer as Director of Finance Transformation for small biotech firm. Currently Manager at 182k base plus 10ish% target bonus. Offer is $30k sign on, $75k RSUs (3 year vest) $205 base plus 25% target bonus plus up to additional $50k RSUs annually. Looking at another year to year and half promo to SM. I have to be an idiot not to take this right? Any issue with getting this many RSUs? Any advice would be appreciated.

You’ll probably learn more in the new role, and if you want to get back into consulting would be even better positioned for partner having sat on the other side of the desk. Don’t really see any downside to taking this. You may like being in industry a lot better too, many people do.

That’s good POV EY1

Assuming you like the role you’d be going into... check the profitability history of the company and whether they’ve shown profits year over year. If so, Take it, and ask for more RSUs for sign-on and bonus. RSUs are where you can make serious money and they are typically easier for management to give out if there is a salary cap or something.  you will end up making a whole lot more money as they vest (assuming the company remains profitable) than you would staying where you are...

Appreciate the insight.

RSUs mean the company is public, so shouldn’t it no longer be a startup? If it was a startup then OP would get options

Looks like a good deal to me, so long as the RSUs are worth their penny when they vest
