SC at ~ 180K TC. I recently got an offer from my current client for a VP role (they had pitched other roles and I declined due to the comp difference not being high enough). They came back a few months later with a 450K TC VP offer that really surprised me... While this seems like an obvious move, the client is really shitty and fairly small (~1B in rev). Am I crazy for thinking of turning this down? My GF and I combined make about 400K so it’s incrementally not that much to us.

Take it just for the title, if it sucks move somewhere else

That’s kind of the issue, I don’t see any good exit ops... it’s a small company in a not so great industry.

Yes crazy to turn it down. Multiple title jumps. Do the role, and do it well. Then jump to a bigger Company as VP. Never look back.

Since the company is so small, does the VP title carry that much weight though? I’m not even 30 yet so I fee like this could be the wrong move.

180 for an SC is pretty awesome. Which industry are you in OP?

I’m Deloitte S&O so it’s not unusual. We get 160 base and like ~20K in bonus
