People who left for a Chief of Staff role at a startup, do you actually like it or does it feel like a glorified EA?

You’ll be the EA, but it would be a stretch to say it’s glorified. Nobody sees the chief of staff as a management-type role.

When I worked at HHS, the CoS to the Secretary was certainly a management type role. He was not an admin.

what if they like being a glorified EA?

fwiw CoS at a startup has a different meaning almost everywhere. our CoS does everything from recruiting, strategy, BD, ops

What type of company are you looking at?

The CoS in engineering at LI are not EAs at all, leadership position for sure.

Not all COS are EA. Some very strategic and path to leadership roles.

I received an offer from IBM Bangalore. However I saw openings at my preferred location Kochi only after the interviews. I called the HR after getting their point of contact mail and I asked if it's possible to switch. They said I'm already tagged to a project and that they'll check from their end if it can be done.

Anyone knows the chances of location being changed after receiving the offer and getting tagged to a project?

I have not yet accepted the offer.
