Currently at a startup where most of the non founder leaders have left in the last few months, 2 layoffs, many key employees have left BUT sales remain strong and company has 1 year of runway. Just got an offer from EY for effectively the same job, title bump, 50% increase in TC. However, I ultimately want to break into data science and EY role is not DS. What should I do? Should I decline off and keep recruiting for a true DS role or accept and then keep recruiting?

Sorry what??? Take it man you are leaving a sinking ship for a huge raise and a strong brand name and probably way more responsibility.

For sure there are many ways to break into ds later on but there aren’t many if you get laid off and gotta scramble for a new position

How come ZS do that? Why can't they pay more as they generally pay 15+ for 4.5 years experience.

I quit my previous job approximately 5-6 months ago due to toxic culture and being pressured to commit fraud… I fear hiring managers see that I’ve been out of work for this time and may assume I was fired or laid off. Additionally I’ve had a couple interviews where company “X” interviewers have commented on this and in an effort to not bad mouth my previous employer I’m stuck with a generic answer like I want to take my career to the next level with Company “X.” Any thoughts/advice?

If so, how would I go about doing that? Thanks!

My remit quadrupled+ in a recent re-org with no increase in pay/promotion, my new director is new to the company and was zero help, and I was passed over for recent promotion during the comp cycle. The new director essentially began shutting me down any time I ask for clarity in my career progression. Now they have taken credit for the project I’ve been building over the past year+ without giving me props whatsoever to higher ups. What is the best plan of action here?

Hey there! First post here 😊

I've done a lot of self-work this year re: where I've been most successful and fulfilled over my last ten years.. I'm 32 and have been in sales, sales leadership, and business leadership (I've been a ceo and am currently head of sales at a start up).

All that said, I'm looking for some words of wisdom on how to pivot to sales ops, Rev ops, or GTM strategy. The latter probably being my preference.

References, wisdom, and general advice appreciated!!
