My TC is just over 200k as a director, had a recruiter at a much smaller company reach out and gauge my interest in a VP level role. New position, so he didn't have a hiring budget/target in mind. I didn't throw a number out, I'm in a very stable company with unvested equity and opportunity for growth. That being said, this new position *is* something i'm interested in pursuing.

For those who made the Director > VP jump, what was % of increase? golden parachute? Signing bonus?

I jumped about $50k on salary when going from director to VP. Then bonus. Use your invested equity as leverage to try and get the firm to match as a signing bonus.

Did you get a severance package included? Signing bonus? what % was 50k?
