Has anyone moved from a large public company to a small business owned by a private equity firm? Offering a bit more money but seems like a much bigger risk. Experiences? Pros and cons?

Likely a larger workload and necessary skill set, but more autonomy and less red tape, which is a huge pro. You can GTM so much faster and pivot much more quickly, which can be a pro given the roadmap is more likely to change in a smaller org. Also, more financial stability at a larger company and you’ll likely have to provide monthly marketing board reports to the PE firm, which can be nerve wracking.

I have! I went from a Fortune 50 to a much smaller company owned by a private equity firm. I hated big corporate because of the slow pace, beuracracy, red tape, etc. Some people prefer big corporate. I'd make sure you're not getting into a situation with unrealistic goals/numbers and you always have to consider what happens if the company sells. Good luck!

CCTC - 6LPA

Need some advice. I was asked to apply for a senior digital marketing specialist role (the lowest title I’ve applied for, looking mid-senior level). I applied and they offered me the position, but are telling me I need to start out at the regular specialist level. To me, if I interviewed for the senior title, and I can clearly do the qualifications needed since you offered me the role, I should have that title. Thoughts? Supposedly the reg. specialist role is senior in their org. structure.
