I’ve been presented with an opportunity as a senior leader within a tech startup (Series B, so a little stability). The position would be leading go-to-market strategy. This is an area I really enjoy, and I think the company had a lot of potential. The salary is 150k, currently I’m on 210k, so the pay drop will not be fun, but they showed me all their projections and that’s all they have budget for. What sort of pay drop would you take to pivot out of accounting and into something you enjoy?

Have they discussed potential future pay growth as the company grows?

My understanding is that this role, pay etc will grow with the company. But I’ll certainly get confirmation of that prior to signing. So I’m seeing it as an investment long term.

What about equity?

Haven’t concluded on how much, but I will be getting equity. Should be round the 50-100k mark, which isn’t a ton but at such an early stage the growth potential should be substantial.

3M in ARR for context. But with a solid plan and substantial big name VCs have made investments (many follow on investments from the same funds)

Hi all,

I’ve asked for work but no luck. I know they say this is normal for a stub but when should I start getting worried and consider looking for exit options? Fyi, I like my practice group, so I don’t want to change to a different group within my firm, hence would have to lateral, if I have to. Also, other co-1st years are churning in high hours.
