Hey y’all, looking for some startup career advice. I was human capital consulting at Deloitte, then spent the past year founding a wellness startup. Now looking to join a tech startup.

I’d say I’m more of a generalist (~6 yrs exp) and finding it tough to pivot into a niche role like PM. I’ve explored CoS, Strategy & Ops, even Sales/CS, but most places want someone who’s done it before.

Has anyone here made a similar transition?

My company’s SOP template has a table of contents and a section at the top where the SOP owner is supposed to add a short statement containing the “Why” of the SOP, meaning a statement about what the SOP is supposed to solve for/ accomplish.

Thoughts?

There is lots of companies really taking a hit in the tech space. Is this something that people are nervous about?

And if so, which depts do you think will get hit the hardest?

I don't like my job, the responsibilities and tasks aren't right for me or my lifestyle.

Key positives for my current employer are pay and security. But my new role within the company isn't working for me, and ultimately I don't think it is for the company either.

A much much smaller (20 people) company offered me a role.

With the global economic situation as is, is it worth the risk to change to a job I know i'd like more with less pay, and potentially less job security?

T.I.A.
