I am weighing my options here
1. Option 1: Join the industry at a Senior Manager position in a mid sized med device company in it's 5th year under a PE firm (mention this as there is a potential that it may be sold). Spoke to the Senior Director and it's going to be a clean slate. Need to build things ground up. My base salary falls by 10k. Bonus component is very promising and everyone told me that the bonus payout has been great

.. Job satisfaction is low. My last eight months have been on engagements that are not my skillset and not an area I wish to venture in
Everytime I spoke to the RL about this, the only response I have been getting is we tried our best but only this is available. My projects have been out of my group even though our team is having a plethora of opportunities. I've reached out to partners and everyone has said the same thing. I feel like my profile is going for a toss.

In addition to the salary, the other dilemma is the subpar glassdoor reviews on the new firm.(especially around the C suite but everyone mentioned ppl you work with are great) While I don't want to judge just based on that, the HR took two weeks to respond. She did apologize but that was quite unpleasant to start a new journey.

Here are my questions

1. Should I get hung up on the salary difference?
10k will not drastically change my lifestyle but money is money. ( Joining bonus makes up for this in year 1)

2. How do I gauge the company and the team before I take a call?

3. Since the company is in its fifth year with a PE firm and the top management has changed twice in three years , should that influence my decision?

Anyone else feel discourage ? I thought my interview went amazing and today I received the standard email rejection.

Picked myself up, gave a few encouraging words to myself in the mirror and put my fake face on for my family. Can anyone else relate ?
