Received verbal offer today for a startup with a pretty good increase in base salary which I’m inclined to accept. In parallel, earlier this week I had confirmed a phone interview for tomorrow with a hiring manager from FAANG for a role I was interested in.

Hi! I have worked in management roles in tech, mainly in analytics, for approximately 10 years.

I now work at the CBC, but I have worked in the private sector too. What is the most realistic way to move to 200K? 1) Continue moving the ladder to a VP position, 2) Switch to Pre-Sale, 3) Switch to Consulting, 4) Work from a U.S. company from Canada.
