Have an offer to move to a Fortune 500 company as a finance manager and an offer to move to a small PE owned company ($200m in revenue) as a business strategy manager. Same pay. Small company has me working with CFO/CEO/PE firm directly and large company has more perks/benefits and more defined career progression. Which to take? I’m conflicted!

where are you at in your career journey?

Been in consulting for 6 years currently an SA that should’ve been promoted. Started out of school.

Probably depends on the equity you get from smaller company especially if it’s PE owned

If you are part of the Management Incentive Program (MiP) that PE firms often implement then a PortCo could be interesting. If you don’t know what that is then you probably won’t get it, and be very wary of the classic case of PE firms setting sky high KPIs then aggressively cost cutting when they’re not hit.

Considering an exit to a startup that just completed a solid series B. They’re willing to provide competitive comp package and surprised how large the base is for a startup. Has me concerned about being on the high end and being the first person that comes to mind when it’s time to pinch a few pennies or clean up the books ahead of future rounds/IPO. Valid concern or am I overthinking it?

I’ve always gotten the advice that when you want to switch jobs you should take interviews from places you’re not actually interested in, so you can understand your value in the market and have better negotiating power.

I’m doing that rn - took a couple interviews to gauge my skills, my market value, and see what I need to work on for interviews that I actually care about.

However, I feel really guilty about wasting their time and going all the way knowing I’ll just say no at the end. Wwyd?
