Currently in a senior manager PMM position at a startup with 4 years of PMM experience (9 years of work experience). I started as an associate PMM and have been promoted every year and now manage a team of PMMs. I’m being poached by a big corporate company but their levels are different. They are looking to hire for a PMM in a “manager” position. The pay is $10k higher than my base with a $30-40k variable upside (bonus). Would you take it even if it’s a lateral move from a title position?

Honestly I wouldn't bother. Think about the time wasted on commute that is valuable way beyond the 10K increase. For a lateral move to make sense, IMHO, it should be at least a 30-35% pay increase, but thats just me.

I agree with the comment above, I probably value my ability to work remotely way more than 10k, so it'd be a pretty tough sell to get me to give that away just for a salary bump of that size. You seem to be in a pretty good trajectory at your current job so I have no doubts you will likely get an even juicier offer down the line if you hold out. Sometimes it's better to pass up on a "meh" opportunity so you can say "f*ck yes" to another one when it comes along. How do you feel about future growth at your current company?

Also worth mentioning this role would be hybrid 3 days in office vs. remote

I think it sounds like a great resume builder - and that bonus being something you can rely on to. Don’t worry about the title - and you can always get personnel responsibility back. Just enjoy time off from the emotional burden.

And I’m that rare person who misses hybrid work - the interactions with people, the separation of church and state, the ability to decompress during the commute.

Hell no. Negotiate a higher level and a bump in salary if you’re going to make that move. Know your worth!

Hi everyone! In your experience, what is the one tool / must-have / methodology any of your companies use to bring about a cohesive and comprehensive go-to-market strategy in the launch of new products and services? As a company scales, coordinating cross-functionally and across time zones is becoming increasingly challenging so we have identified that we need frameworks or tools to help us go-to-market in a less clumsy, more coordinated fashion. Would love to get your ideas on this.
