I mean odds say it’ll probably fail either way - would say with a tighter funding environment, if you are going to fail it is going to happen early :)

As a start, find out how much money they’ve raised, what their burn rate is, and what their headcount growth plans are. Then you can sketch out how long they can last before they need to get the next round of funding.

Yes. The experience alone will be worth it. I learned more in a year at a startup than I did in multiple years in consulting

What’s the cash offer?

No

Have a formal offer at Citi for 120K as an AVP in the NY office. Currently making 92K at my current role where I feel there’s not much room to grow anymore. Is this a fair offer? I currently WFH pretty much full time at my current role which has been amazing, but it seems like Citi would require me to be there 2-3 days in the office per week - and this is something I’m very hesitant about. Thoughts on how to approach this?

I've become really jaded about consulting. I find all so often you need to tell the client what they want to hear to keep their business and I feel like so much of the what I recommend doesn't actually get implemented. I'm looking to make a career switch so I can both create and execute on my strategies. A product management path seems very promising for this.

Does anyone who switched from consulting to product management have any recommendations of h helpful PM books, courses, or programs?
