Controller offer at Series B VC start up vs. PE backed portfolio company, if my ultimate goal is to work as a fractional controller in 3-4 years on a part time/contract basis, which one should I pick as my last full time role, if cash+equity component is roughly the same (of course PE equity has slight higher chance of meaning something but lower upside than series B startup).

I’m not sure which is better. I’m trying to figure out how you’re getting controller positions at either if you’re an associate.

I'd roll dice with Series B startup and get some equity/options and see what happens down the line (could next high flyer ipo.. 🤷).

Had my virtual on-site for an S&O L3 role 3.5 weeks ago (NYC, 5 YOE). I haven’t heard back on a decision yet, and was wondering how long it typically takes? I also know that I was one of the very first candidates to interview for this specific role, and there are atleast 2 more people scheduled for onsites. Does the recruiter typically wait for all candidates to finish their onsites before communicating a decision? Or if I haven’t heard back yet, it’s probably a reject?
