Is 30k bump in pay worth the move from a large bank to a series D start up?

Series D startup is usually almost as good as a small public company.

Do it for the money if:
- it is material to you.

Without knowing anything else whatsoever, I’d vote for doing it, but not for the money. It would be for the experience.

Thank you. I like money .

If you are interested in TC mainly, then obviously the answer is yes. But, you want to look at what you're doing if you're thinking long term (even in terms of TC). If it's more interesting work/company, you'll position yourself better for the future. If it feels like you won't grow there past a certain cap, it's still probably worth the money to you, but it's not a lasting growth strategy, if that makes sense.

Eh, I don't about this one. Do you feel good about the startup's product/service? Does it have legs? It's going to be hard to justify a truly nothing company if you had a great position at a large bank. But - if you have faith in it, you can get the money and the name down the line. Make sure you get equity if you make the move.

I’m graduating in December, with a background in environmental economics and policy. Consulting didn’t work out this cycle.

What can I do to make this happen? I have friends and connections at Bain and Kearney and the other firms as well, but not sure if it’s feasible now.

Has anyone ever asked to renegotiate their salary after starting a job? I’m 2 months into my new job and I have far more responsibilities than what I was told. It’s a lot different than what was relayed in the posting and during the interviews. Additionally, they hired my counter part in as a senior manager which is at least $30k more than what I make. My peer has more experience so I expect that but I feel that I should be paid more, however I don’t want to leave a bad impression… any advice?

I prefer working for what is offered on contract without negotiating, and then negotiate when I transition into the company itself so I have a better chance of getting the contract position and show my skills.
