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 would like to hit fire between 40-50. Currently 27, 185k total comp (125 for me and 60 for partner). Like my job don’t hate it don’t love it. Does an MBA make sense? I’m guessing it could take me to 170ish with that schools I’m looking at but wondering if the 40-50 retirement range makes an mba not make sense since I’d only have 10-20 years to save vs 12-22.

Would have to finance the whole thing myself. Current net worth is 140k. Thoughts?
