I can’t speak toward the salary negotiation question, but I was in your exact same position last year. 5 YOE (all consulting), making 93k, and offered a senior analyst role for 80k. I took it and haven’t looked back. If you’re ready for a change, then it’s a great opportunity. And if you end up hating it, you can always come back as long as you leave on good terms.
Personally I would never take a paycut if I’m moving jobs especially if it’s when I’m exiting consulting. But there is more to life than money of course. When you say lower pay, are you strictly referring to salary or are you including things like stock options and bonuses? In my opinion <80k TC sounds a little low for a management role post-consulting but if it was <80k base with some great stock benefits that would be a little more reasonable
I would also check out the exit opportunities and compensatiob bowls for this
I was in this position about 6 months ago and didn’t take the job. I am still thinking about trying to open that door again. Two things to note - unless it’s a very mature start up, WLB could be very unpredictable, regardless of what you are told during interviewing. And what is the pay trajectory like? For the role I was looking at it was a pretty large cut and they were already offering me on the higher end of the pay band for the next role up. I wouldn’t be seeing the salary I currently make for another 3 years or so. But, if you’re a high performer, often times at startups there’s wayyyy more opportunity for growth.
For me, making less then 80k doesn’t found fun but it depends on your situation, cost of living, etc. and if you know you’ll love the job and you’re unhappy where you are I think that it would be worth it. Only you can really answer this Q tho.
You’re *
the time in the pandemic has really put things into perspective. The only thing anyone doing is working from home and you see if your job is actually worth it.
I’m happy right now but my mom is having a horrible time with her job. I can’t imagine hating my job working 8-6 and then just sitting at home stressed until the next day
There is very little incentive to take a pay cut when you go to an early stage startup if you are in the early part of your career . You most probably won’t last the ten years or so it will take to IPO (and probably won’t have the $$ to buy your shares) and vast majority of startups fail anyway . Late stage startups are totally fine and you can take a bet on RSU with a pay cut .
I have taken pay cuts for the right reasons: you’ll learn something you wouldn’t be able to learn in your current position and you’ll like your job more. Side note I met my wife (still married and in love 25 years later). Go for it... it’s not always about the money.
