Had a couple interviews with a series B and now have a convo with their HR rep billed by the hiring VP as a time for them to "sell me" on the company. What are some good questions I shouldn't overlook

What level are you right now?

M

besides obvious basics about the total comp and equity package. like other details or benefits elements I should know in order to properly evaluate

How long did it take for them to close series B, what has growth been like since series A, are they meeting targets for revenue projection and EBITDA targets, how many investors for series B

Yeah sorry didn’t see the bit about HR - good luck!

What should “sell you” on the company is a belief in their growth potential and trust that the equity they’re giving you will be worth a lot down the road. Not sure an HR rep can give you those type of answers, but the VP should be able to. From HR I’d just stick to comp, equity, and benefits.

agreed. some questions I'll hold for when I have offer in hand. HR is only "selling" on the details not the big picture drivers.

I can really use some direction. My background, I've worked 2 years in strategy and am currently coming off an exhausting year 2 in investment banking.

Everybody says there's exit-ops aplenty, but I find myself with less options and even more picky than I did as an ambitious T2 undergrad student. Where do I go from here?
