Hi all! Need help choosing between 2 offers. Comp is the same. Which would you choose based on my priorities?

1) Chief of Staff to CEO role at a PE-backed SaaS company. Remote. 2) Strategy Director role at a F500 “tech” company (not FAANG); no direct reports; focused on data strategy; in-person, requires relocation.

My priorities: 1) Exit opps and future optionality, esp in strategy, consulting & big tech; 2) Maximize learning, growth, and impact; and 3) Prestige (opens more doors in future).

I’d exit for F500 and Director title if you want exit opps for consulting / corp strat / big tech and for the prestige.

Chief of staff may not help you optimize for prestige, but you’d learn a lot, exit into a leadership role at the same company or somewhere else, and you’d probably exit later into smaller tech companies or strategy roles, you’re unlikely to go back to consulting.

I’d evaluate carefully on the day to day you would have as a chief of staff - is it more coordination or having soft power and influencing critical decisions?
