Interviewing with series B in SF for PM role. They want me to join, but role will be a mix of product and sales. Mtg with CEO to discuss. Not interested in pure sales - how much leverage do I have?

At a startup you have to wear multiple hats. Doing sales and being exposed to direct voc will make you a better pm anyway. I suspect if this concept is alien to you, you probably should not pursue a pm role.

Sure but I think the pt is you don’t get to choose in startup. The ceo will sweep and mop floors if he needs to. The cfo will go buy drinks if she needs to. That’s how it is & for a good reason; investors are trying to maximize returns, not to give employees cushy lives

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.

Networking question here. A retired partner at the firm I used to work out reached out to me recently about attending an afternoon during the week (b4 4/30) with one of his long time clients. The partner and I have kept in touch since I joined my new firm and I feel like his invitation is a great networking opportunity since the client (who I have worked with before) is on a number of boards. Torn as how to request off as an S3. Could materialize to nothing but could be good for reconnecting.
