Have a dinner tomorrow with a managing director of a small, but growing sales & marketing consulting firm that is trying to recruit me. Entire firm is between 100-150 FTEs. Revenue last fiscal year was $55mm. PE invested in them earlier this year. Pay is based on experience and all in is $100-200k. I currently make $150b with bonus ranking from $17-45k

I’ve created a list of questions but I’m curious to know what questions you would ask over dinner?

Look for something in their background to bond over or a commonality between you unrelated to work. Also, I guess you would have this on your list but ask how covid has affected business, any specific challenges and how they might change their focus.

Are you looking to exit there now or just expanding network exit later?

Do you already have an offer? If not, this is an interview to gauge cultural fit, something more important for a small firm than a big 4. Ask questions about culture and fun things.
