This is truly a career goal of mine, and I’m eager to learn and receive any information, wisdom, or advice I can that may assist in propelling me forward to my career goals! So, any mentors available? 😀Thanks!

Hi, what has been/will be the next steps for you after being chief of staff?

Context: I head up strategy & ops at a startup and act as CoS to CEO. Now interviewing for CoS to CCO at another larger company (1000+ employees) and wondering if this puts me in line to get a CCO role in a few years or if I’m better off remaining in strategy & Ops.

Hi! I’m currently CoS to the CEO for a PE backed healthcare company. I currently make $140K + $25K bonus.

I’m up for a raise this month, and curious what some of you are making for ballpark?

I’m interviewing for an EA (not your typical role) to a serial entrepreneur/CEO who is also interviewing for a Chief of Staff. They have mentioned I would make a great CoS based on my prev experience & could see me being a COO in the next 10 yrs.

I am interested but also don’t want to talk myself out of the EA role as I really want to work for this individual – advice pls?
