I’ve applied to ~15 Chief of Staff or Strategic Ops roles at Series B+ and enterprise companies that match my experience line-for-line. But aside from a couple auto rejections, it’s been crickets. Are roles like this actually filled through open applications, or are they almost always backchannel? If you’ve landed a CoS role in tech, I’d really appreciate any insight on what actually cuts through. Thanks!

I got lowballed an year back. I joined without realizing how the title salary would drag me back. I am stuck in my role and low salary. Any suggestions?

I currently make about 160k and if JPM would give me a high draw for the first 3 years to build, and if it’s feasible to sustain that 160+ there.

Are the exit opportunities better in Internal Audit/Business Process than IT Audit? All I hear is how awful IT Audit is but don’t hear as much complaining from the business side

Hi Fishes,

What is the salary range in Goldman Sachs of a Sr. Analyst in the Investment Banking Division (Middle Office role) in Bangalore ?

I am starting a 4-months internship at a company B in January. However, I just heard from a company T that they will interview me for their full time position.

Company T is paying me way more (twice) than Company B. And I like company T more. However, they want me to start working in February if I get this position. If I end up getting the offer, I will have to quit my internship at Company B, almost immediately after I begin the internship.

They have mentioned I would make a great CoS based on my prev experience & could see me being a COO in the next 10 yrs. After playing back our last meet, I realise the CEO was trying to tease out of me/get me to probe on interest for CoS role. I am interested but also don’t want to talk myself out of the EA role as I really want to work for this individual – advice pls?
