Need opinions....a friend is offered an exec position reporting to CEO company owned by PE. Base, bonus, equity. They ask that she "buys" shares to enter as well as exec mgmt must have some ownership and personal interest for the growth of this company. Is this usual, to put money investment in to get a new job? and if so, what's reasonable in terms of #shares, total investment?

She needs an employment lawyer, not fishbowl. Speaking from experience, at a certain level of position, but especially when taking on “portfolio company” roles with PE firms and VC firms, you need a lawyer. And everything needs to be in writing.

Regarding AI, I find this field fascinating but I feel like it requires a lot of experience, degrees and diplomas.

Hello, I recently was reached out to by an in-house recruiter at a similar but slightly different company than the one I currently work for. The recruiter provided a base range and an OTE range. The lower end of that range is what I am currently making. The higher end of that range is almost 200k more than my current comp. The role is almost identical. I wasn’t looking to move, but that higher end range would set my family up very nicely for our goals. But I am happy at my current company. Help?
