Depends how long the stock awards take to vest, how solid the other company is and will the deputy role put you first in line for true C level, is so what does that comp look like.

Would you prefer being an IC or a leader?

That's why I asked if, just generally, you'd rather be and IC or a leader /exec. If you'd prefer the product and tech of the specific PM role then go for that option.

Deputy C if you believe in the company. The stress and workload will be MUCH higher there though.

The more responsibility the more stress. Even as program manager you can check out.

One role clearly offers more career growth

Do the C-1/2 position, then hop up to C after a few years at a similar co. There’s growth to be had.

Now.. if you want to just chill until retirement, Microsoft can be the better role.

How much experience do you have op?

18 years

Any ideas about the math? I’m thinking they are both roughly the same.

I’m an associate attorney at a mid-size family law practice. (5 attorneys, 3 support staff). I’ve been here for 3 years and just asked for a raise to $130k from $90k. My annual billable target is 1400. However, since I’ve been here I’ve barely broken 1000 despite working my ass off. I bill out at $375. They told me no more raises unless I start taking my own cases. Now they just hired a new associate and are paying him $170k and he takes his own cases. Am I being unreasonable asking for $130k?

Currently unemployed, and looking at a job offer of around 62k base, small firm. Not my preferred choice but this is the first offer in three months. They also took a month to get me the offer with corona and internal restructuring. Two questions:
1) The contract doesn’t mention a notice period in the probation period. What’s a good way to ask? 2) If I manage to secure another offer between contract signing and start date, would this involve any financial liabilities?
