Might be getting an offer with a company about to IPO in the next ~6-12 months. Relatively higher position (Director/VP level). How should I negotiate for equity? Can anyone share their experience with a move to a company about to IPO? Thanks!

if you really want more equity you'll probably have to say you'll take a lower base for more shares. I'm sure at this point nobody is getting any meaningful % of the company. They probably have a TC target, tell them you want it to be as much equity as possible in the TC

I bought a house in the suburbs of Chicago at the top of the market. I ended up moving out of state in 2017 and short-selling. I am now interviewing for a VP Accounting role with the mortgage company that got shafted by the short sale. If I get the job offer, can they/will they see this on my credit report? Can they pull the offer due to this? Should I tell them before we advance further?

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people.

I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.
