Decision time. Exiting with 2 YoE.

BizOps at top pre-IPO unicorn (TC 180k in SF, more with stock depending on IPO) vs. VC Associate in a 500MM fund (TC 170k + carry in a T2 city)? Hours will be better in the unicorn, and has good upside, but VC roles are even harder to come by and may position me for future opportunities.

I’d go with VC, if only to try out living in a new city and the fact that it would be easier to move into an operating role from VC if it turns out to be not what you’re looking for vs the other way around

This is a tough one, and congrats on two amazing options. Your CoL adjusted comp will be way higher with the VC gig, but ultimately I think it’s a matter of what you enjoy doing. Those two options are VERY different jobs. VC is safer and pays more (a lot easier to go from VC to startup). But you need to be okay with sourcing and really love the deals mentality, and a lot of people hate both of those things.

smart

I’m definitely leaning towards the VC firm, primarily because entry points into the buyside are so limited and as you mentioned it’d be much easier to find a startup role afterward than the reverse.

However, the VC position is a 2 year term, with no chance of promotion (I’d need some real startup experience and a better network to be a VP), and I’m a little concerned about my ability to survive and grow in this industry. Would that factor into your considerations at all, or would the worst case of going into VC still beat out the startup?

How did you get the VC associate offer? Any tips also are you at MBB?

By applying and going through many processes hahaha
Feel free to DM me after decision has been finalized

An agency I freelance for wants to hire me full-time. They told me for a Sr Copywriter, 100-110k. I countered with 125-150.

I also said I'm interested in a higher-level title - I currently freelance as a Creative Director of Copy elsewhere (they don't have that title at this agency.)

They came back and said yes to the title and to 125, with a 6 month review that could raise it to 145.

Which is good for Sr Copy, but low for CD/ACD level. Don't want to screw myself over. What to say now?
