Opportunity at a Tech Co for a very senior position reporting to the director. Small team, company seems to be in bad shape if a recession hit. Chose to stay (close to promo). Thoughts?

Director is often middle management FYI. Obviously depends on the company, but I reported to directly to directors twice as an intern

It's no guarantee, but staying in your current position is likely safer. Last in, first out is still a thing.

Yea reporting to a director is usually not that senior. I have first year consultant level people on my project that have directors as their client counterparts...

Will be a C soon making 15% less than that position. For now, making 35% less. Still think this was the safer play w/ looming recession + long term will have more exit ops.

@OP: If that would only be a 15% raise from c level pay, and your supervisor would be a director (usually middle management), that doesn't sound like a very senior level position, unless you're talking about a startup with next to no funding or a broke nonprofit.

Either way, if that company is at risk in this economy, sounds look a good idea to pass and stay where you are.

Thank you all, definitely feels good to have validation. I wouldn’t say it’s a “random” tech company, but it’s small cap 6 yrs post IPO. And the position was Principal Analyst (analyst -> senior analyst -> principal -> director)

I'm at a career juncture and have decided on a career in anti-money laundering as my new path. I'm also highly interested in additional education to further my career and am eyeing graduate school. Which is best? A law degree or a master's in international relations? Those are where my interests lie. I keep reading that JDs are valued in compliance but am wondering if a different graduate program is better for my goals. I already plan to obtain the CAMS certification. Thank you!
