I am torn between moving to a product director role (unicorn fintech) vs continuing my current role (principal at a M&A strategy boutique, can make partner in 1-2 years) vs moving to corporate development roles (no offers yet). I have 16 years of experience, recent 4 yrs of which in M&A commercial due diligences. I see all three as attractive options, but is it a good pursuit to take a product director role at a recently turned fintech unicorn vs the other options?

Interesting, so this is more a product partnership / deal management kind of role. Good luck!

Depends on what interests you and your risk tolerance, though I’d imagine most unicorns don’t “fail” in the traditional sense
