Received an offer from a company in a different vertical to work on tech / IT strategy. Would you take this offer? Info below.


YOE: 3

Current Comp: 105k in tech strategy (including annual RSUs) with 10% bonus

Offer: 145k (Base) with up to a 14% bonus

I'm conflicted by the offer because it does not include any equity unlike my current employer. I also believe that the future is incredibly bright with my current company. I would really only jump for the $$. Am I making a mistake by staying?

Just based on money, I would jump, especially if you’re saying you already spent 3 years at your current place (even if 1 year or more I would still jump).

But - do other benefits match? Do you get decent healthcare, decent PTO/sick time, other stipends? Is it also a step up title wise, or another way to think of it is are you less removed from the C-suite? Is the company’s industry the exact same or are they accomplishing a different mission? Do you get potential exposure to other types of clients that you want to work with?

Really depends what else you want besides a better salary.

I’d jump. Even with RSUs your current comp doesn’t come close to your new comp. think about how much those RSUs would have to appreciate for you to make an equivalent of 145k. Also, if your future is as bright as you say at your current company, then why aren’t they valuing (paying) you more? The market seems to dictate that you’re worth 145k.

Hi folks I recently switched and my package is 13 LPA but as the role was not aligning with my goals so I switched again within 2 months. Now when I got interviewed for this new org(which is a unicorn). At starting they agreed on min 20% hike + 1lpa as a Joining Bonus. But while giving the offer they gave the same amount of 13lpa. Do you guys think it's fair of starting the interviews with something and then lowball the candidate? My interviews went pretty well

Hi all, say you get equity vested in 4 years with a one year cliff. Let’s say the company goes from $50M Valuation to $2bn in that one year. Is there any laws that protect you from being fired during the cliff period?
