Found a great opportunity building out a team at one of the unicorn tech. My close friend is on an interview panel and his manager is the hiring manager. I think I will be given a serious look but...

No way. Not for a 40% loss.

There’s a slim chance it’s worth it if you’re dying to get into product management

No. God no.

It will take you a long long time to get that 40% back. That is a crazy pay cut and then add on the commute. That’s 2 hrs on a good day right?

It will be 40% pay cut and 2hr commute one way. Would you consider it? It will be a great resume builder...

No way. The commute alone would be a huge disincentive for me.

If you take the job, I’d relocate to cut down on the commute but also make sure it’s worth the pay cut! There’s more to this world than money but that’s a significant change so make sure you are doing it for the right reasons

No. I work for a unicorn now, and a 40% paycut and a 2 hour commute is not an incentive at all.

What’s a unicorn tech?

Company valued at over $1B

Unicorn techs are worth $0

2 hr commute one way? Are you kidding right now?

Many people in the Bay Area do something similar (but not as bad). Google shuttle from SF to Mountain View takes about 1.5 hours one way!

Thanks everyone. This confirmed my feeling that I shouldn’t even apply for it. I can take either lower pay (I will still be in mid to high $200k) or long commute, but not both. It’s actually no longer a unicorn since they IPOed recently but even the potential stock appreciation is probably not worth it.

Op there is also a question of what are you passionate about. No one can put a price tag on your passion, not even you. I feel the fact that you are asking if this is worth it shows you believe the work is more exciting than what you are doing at AP. Personally I believe passion is more preferable.

Was wondering if anyone could shed some light into this. Currently an execution trader at a decent size firm (around 14 b aum) mostly focused in fixed in fixed income however I do trade all asset classes including structured products. Taking a look at alternatives or structured products sales (internal or institutional) and also I've heard investor relations at HFs or PE might be a good fit. Don't want to go the route of financial advisor. Located in south Florida. Thks!

I’m making $140k. I have a college degree but no marketing, engineering, or product experience. What other departments/jobs could I jump to and still keep close to my OTE?
