Gut check:

7th year invited to interview at a bigger company after about a year in my current role. Already did screener.

Comp would go from $350k to about $550k TC, with the difference mainly being equity.

Reason I’m considering leaving is because my company is being acquired by PE and delisted in a couple or a few months, though my role is essential for continued operations at least until the PE firm sells us so unclear when I’d be affected.

Would it be a mistake to leave my role now?

You’re almost doubling up on comp. Move. Not sure the question.

Unless you’re giving up a bunch of equity or they can offer a retention bonus that would match the offer, sounds like a good move.

It’ll convert to a not-yet-disclosed LTI program. So not accelerate. I’m considering how best to approach sign on bonus - I did disclose I’d be giving up equity when they asked if I’d need to repay any sign on bonus already received.

if you get an offer, you better leave

Currently working on a three person team in a larger GC group. I lateraled from a different group that did not pay attorneys on an attorney scale. I’m stuck in my old pay scale but have gotten promotions and raises quickly with more on the horizon. A recruiter reached out with a new role for 2-2.5x more than I currently make doing something similar. I love my company and the people I work with but the money isn’t there. Is it worth trying to get a counter to stay if I get the bigger offer?
