Late 30s manager with two young kids. Is it worth waiting 2 years to make director and do that for a ~2 years then going to industry or exiting ASAP? I.e. are exit opps as Director/SM that much better

No they’re not — not until you spend 2/3 years at Director

As a Director, you tend to price yourself out of a lot of interesting opportunities. And people are less likely to take a bet on you. Not fun. Hindsight - M1 or M2 is the best exit

And if living in a high tax state like NJ and losing SALT deduction, will have a lot less of that hard earned money in your pocket which sucks

Caveat is I work in HR space so exit opps might be a little less fruitful...but from D1 it kind of confirms my thought that Manager doesn’t translate as well to Director when exiting. I also think it makes it easier to come back in (down the road). But would love to hear from Ms or Ds who have tested the waters

You tell us. Is it worth it to you?

This will be me in a few years, also curious. After going to a paycheck calculator, even after you make $300k its mind boggling how after taxes, it’s still not like your completely rich.

What are exit opportunities for Directors typically?

Interesting D1

Agree- if you are going to jump M is the time to do it (in hindsight)

Can m2 typically make jump to D ?

D at a bank- yes

Senior engineer making 135k and I was offered a promotion to engineering manager after completing a development plan. Near the end of the plan and I expect compensation talks to start soon. Based on some research around Boston and my role in the company, I feel 165k plus 10-15% bonus is fair. Nonetheless, first time going through something like this and asking for thoughts and comments. Thanks!
