I'm getting an offer from a bootstrapped pre-launch startup in fintech solving a social impact problem. Also offering an above market hike and fair ESOP pool. Quite a nice and truly cross functional role, doesn't even have a name for the role.

I currently work in a large fintech decacorn firm in a standard product management role.

YoE, pay, grad school, hike and other details are irrelevant for my question.

Is this a good jump? How will my future growth look like?

Additional Posts in Aspiring Product Managers

Hey all,
Im looking to pivot my career from industrial design to product design or product management.
At the moment i manage a team of 5 industrial designers for b2b sustainable fashion and retail interiors. The methodologies and processes are quite similar between physical and digital design so i feel i should not start from a junior position, however my portfolio contains only physical. Did anybody else make a similar career switch? Any advice for switching to product is welcome. Thanks!

So I recently interviewed for an associate PM role with my current company. I’ve been a store manager with them for 11 years.

You’d think given my time knowing the product/ company for so long, that I’d be a great fit but I got rejected and haven’t gotten feedback probably will get ghosted. Should I shoot my shot and advocate for myself with the hiring manager either way?
