Guys, just found out my roommate who works at a startup makes $60k more than I do as a pretty well paid consultant. What are some pros and cons of transferring? Sending him my resume for referral now

At a startup you do everything. He does a little bit of everything which seems like such a good learning opportunity

Avon the tough part is that I've been trying to come over to S& within pdubs to get more interesting work and despite the partners best efforts, he keeps telling me that S& has its own staffing problems and he can't move me. So now I'm stuck doing non interesting work that I feel is not challenging. I can either wait until I get promoted and ask for a formal transfer or go the route of a startup and learn more

OP, I truly feel your pain. We are having staffing problems of our own. I feel true strategy projects are far and few between now a days. Additionally, the bench is full across the board. I don't think the grass is greener on the other side from an insiders perspective. Keep your head up OP

Well depends on how much of a start up this really is? Provide more info? You will definitely lose the stability and benefits of working for a large company.

What kind of work does he do for them

^thanks for the insight

Jesus - I thought you were saying the startup was Avon. 😉

You can be bought for 60K?
