Decided to stay in consulting (but move to competitor for a 20% bump) to gun for a PL role before exiting to industry. Had an offer from a startup that gave a flat TC, but I rejected it.

Any thoughts? PLs are valued higher for exits I hope?

Cash in hand now trumps all. That being said, you think you will be able to get a better exit after becoming a PL vs joining the startup now and riding the wave of high growth? Have you considered the possibility that you might end up at same level a few years from now or can reach your goal faster in a startup world? Only so many people can make Partner/Principle each year. It’s a pyramid. Startup is a new company and by definition would need a new CSO, CFO, COO it doesn’t have a pipeline to 200 People eagerly awaiting that promotion. Less competitive so to speak.

How can I have a healthy relationship with deadlines? That "good and done is better than perfect" saying is nice, but expectations are very high. I just want to stop feeling this way. Therapy helps, kind of.

Ugh, just got rejected from a senior level big tech opportunity. 4 month hiring process, multiple rescheduled interview days and no-shows, 10+ interviews in the end, multiple take home assessments, and took 2 days off work for the final round of interviews. Very frustrating and feel like they wasted my time in the end. Just a shambolic interview process in which I felt like a placeholder till they found who they really wanted.

Looking at exits into pharma and biotech. Have an opp at a biotech at the SM level. Total comp excluding equity is around $190k; RSUs vest over 4 years with annual refreshers, so first year equity would be around $6,200 and it would go up by $6,200 each of the next 3 years, plus whatever base bump I get. Very good benefits package.

They envision 2-3 years before I jump either to AD or right to D. Solid opp? Or hold out to go straight to director level?
