From 180k full time to 200k and 10 percent sweat equity in a boutique consulting firm as their cto, to kickstart their AWS practice .. any thoughts. This new company does not have any product thinking or strategy and full lifecycle cloud delivery pedigree yet ..

10% equity in what? The practice you start?

like

AP1: yes in the practice

So many factors to consider here... you should think about this as you would if you were an a VC investing time, money, and expertise.

Do some serious due diligence around the financial well-being of the entities that own the other 90% of the equity and how they’ve structured their cap table if they’ve had multiple rounds or chosen to take on debt.

That could be great or could mean very little. I’d consider what runway that gives the business, how big of a “bet” that is for them, etc.

Cautions aside, sounds like an amazing opportunity for you — so congrats!

Is the equity liquid? What's the vesting like? The valuation? Can you sell? Can you sell with no case studies, collateral, experienced teammates or brand recognition?

Assuming that the equity is not liquid, and tgat the boutique needs to IPO or be acquired for you to cash out, the risk and difficulty don't seem worth the reward.

Vesting: 4 years, there is opportunity to buy into another 10 percent.

They have deep long term connections to about 40 star aug clients. First couple of sales are possible sans case studies and accelerators. I will be on point to bring in other experienced teammates and build the brand. Yes they need to be acquired or ipo to cash out..

Can I come too? I'm AWS certified and been looking for a change like this.

hi all, currently have two offers:

Coming as a Senior in Audit, with recent FDD exposure (2 deals, obviously not much). I was looking for something more than just number crunching, wanting a mix of quant / quali / strategic work. M&A Advisory or a Corp Strategy role is where I'm looking to end up long term.

Thanks in advance!
