Looking for some advice: two product management job offers - one at a small fintech firm and another at Amazon. Fintech role is way cooler. But pay is 50% higher at amazon (220k). But nyc is home and i love it. If i accept amazon i’d have to move to seattle where i know no one. Any thoughts?

Series A still early in the game, fair degree of risk there. Given the power of compounding, building up a financial reserve early is smart. Just know that there’s no perfect time so decide when would make the most sense if you wait til later.

💲For those who DON'T think a six figure salary is possible:

👉Just ask for it. Really, you would be surprised. Might be easier to switch to a new company and ask. I did that 3 years into my career.

And 🛑 wasting your time at a company that under-values you severely. Sometimes switching companies every 2 years or so will allow you to keep raising the bar for yourself.

Welcome To Everyone!

I wanted to create this bowl because as someone new to the role of “Head of Community” I’m realizing that it’s a lot different than sales, marketing, or anything else I’ve been involved with before.

I figured if I felt like that, there had to be other community managers out there… kind of ironically… craving a sense of community.
