Current firm is offering me $450MM to stay for 12 years. May be an opportunity to renegotiate or leave towards the back end - I haven’t read the fine print. But it is a Tier 3 City and I’m not how the exit opportunities will be. What do you guys think? Solid offer or should I hold out for something better?

You should hold out. Maybe look for an opportunity in a city with a history of proven success. Like Cleveland....

But will you be able to exit to FAANG?

Walk away. $475MM opps are a dime a dozen in T4 cities, let alone T3 cities!

I feel like Chiefs are better positioned to survive & not change names than others. 1) it’s not a slur; 2) not just a group of people (Indians) but a role (Braves) that matches the city theme of Kings (former NBA) & Royals (MLB); 3) Native American imagery is comparatively light (KC Wolf not Chief Wahoo; Warpaint is ridden by a cheerleader with the headdress cosplay retire a while ago as recognized as offensive

KC is more like a tier 2 city. Are you by chance from from St Louis? But even if tier 3 almost 1/2 a billion dollars makes up for a lot of ills.
