Just for the fact of remote alone, I would go to the start-up. 10% more pay is a happy bonus. But for me, remote working is worth its weight in gold.

Do you believe the startup will be successful/in the product? A large number of the AI companies are likely to go out of business but the ones that make it will likely grow like crazy. Make sure you think it has staying power if you plan to join them

Exactly, growing in interest right now — but a lot of competition inbound

A lot of these AI companies will be purchased or replaced by internally by the big companies

And when these purchases happen, all of the overhead employees are gone

Startup. What’s the startup role?

Startup, but be ready to work your ass off. That equity could be worth a lot later on

I agree with those suggesting the startup. It’s a bit of a risk, but definitely the better move. And since it’s fully remote, that makes it a no-brainer. Congrats on the offers!

Hi everyone, I got hired on as entry level sales operations role back in January. It quickly turned into sales, and eventually all the sales for the small company once the head of sales left. I am happy to take on the additional role for my company, and they are going to let me. But they feel that without multiple people in a sales department the title head of sales might not be the best title. I have input in what my updated position title and salary would be. What should I ask for?

1YOE medical device NPI Lead looking for salary perspective

Mechanical engineering grad, joined a medical device startup that I had done co-ops at. 8mo into full-time, pivoted from engineering into more of an operations role doing new product introduction (NPI), now with 3 direct reports.

The combination of startup+medical device+NPI seems very unique and I'm struggling to find salary comparables. Currently making 75k but it feels very low given my new responsibility and impact. Any advice?

Got an offer for SE III at a large tech company. Product I'd be working on interests me and I think I could grow more than in my current role.

Currently I make 180k base and have ISO/RSUs @ startup (60k/yr worth on paper, but won't be worth anything for a few years, if at all).

The offer is:
Base: $166,500
Target Bonus: 10% ($16,650)
RSU: 120k total (30k/yr)

Thoughts on offer? Should I counter?

Additionally there's a yearly target RSU bonus about equal to the cash bonus. Thoughts? 4.5 YOE

Are you responsible for giving performance feedback? Avoid giving personality based feedback. Examples include telling an Asian person they are too quiet/shy or telling a Black person they are agressive/abrasive. DO NOT DO THIS. It clearly represents bias in Performance Management. Performance feedback should be tied to business outcomes with clear examples of what the person does well + how they can improve.
