Received an offer from a startup. 120k, 10-20% bonus, 20-30k stock. Currently 12 month tenure. Reporting to CEO. In LA. Am I leaving consulting too early? (Most people say stay at least till promotion) If i take, they’re letting me choose the title. I’m thinking bizops, as it’s most common. Any thoughts on title?

Nah if you get a good offer it’s never to early to jump ship. Looks like a great offer for 1 YOE, especially for LA. And you’re going to get real executive exposure. Congrats! Take it and don’t look back.

I also left before promotion for a pay bump in tech and don’t regret it at all

I think I made a faux pas during a discussion with a recruiter when asked what my salary expectations were. I KNOW not to give my number first but I was so caught off guard by the question since it was our initial discussion that I just blurted out a range. I’m afraid that I’ve now locked myself into a range with little room to negotiate if extended an offer. Any advice for how to proceed?
