Started a job at a tech company. People, culture, hours, benefits/pay is great. However, the role is not what I was expecting. It’s junior & administrative/sales oriented. I thought it would be more analytics & strategy based.
Just got another offer for a corporate strategy role. Culture isn’t great, pay/benefits aren’t as good but decent, but I’d learn so much more in the role & it’s a manager title . What do I do? I’m early in my career. I’m happy rn but the role isn’t good career wise

Just the fact you care so much about the manager title tells me you’re quite junior already. When you done a few laps around the block you’ll realise how important it is to work with good people and not in a snake pit

I’m at a point where I’d be willing to work weekends and nights just to do more analytics and product oriented work along with my current load so I could hopefully stick with the team and transition to a better role after a year but I’m only 1 week in and feel like I’d come off as crazy if I request that

Go where you’ll learn the most but check to see if there are opportunities at your current employer first. Learning will pay for itself later.

Would you low key refer me to your tech company? I want all of those things right now. Can I DM you?

I was in the same boat last week. Facebook project manager vs t mobile Corp strategy manager. I picked the latter thinking I can learn so much more and doing things that I actually enjoy

My mindset is that I will learn at t mobile for a year or two and apply for Facebook again for a more interesting role since I didn’t feel excited to do the role that I was hired for. I haven’t started working yet but the type of work there really excites me. I am at 2 yoe too and I think right now, the most important thing for me is where I can learn the most. But yeah.. rejecting fb offer hurts. I hope I made the right decision

Deciding on a career path

I feel like my brain works like a consultant, and I would enjoy consulting, but I also looove all things finance & investing. While I don’t necessarily have extensive experience in the field (most of what I know is self taught, my major is accounting), I want to get involved in it somehow and learn more.

I currently work in audit, I’m not sure what exit opportunities are an option for me for the investing/finance industry. Feel like chances are are slim. Any advice?

Need help thinking through this…Debating leaving to a tech startup. Very early stage ($3-7M ARR), would have a big role leading strategy and Ops. It’s a cash paycut, which is a bummer but the equity would be pretty good. Just nervous about leaving before hitting the full manager role and taking a paycut in this market to bank on equity. For those of you have left, what kind of questions did you ask yourself to know it was the right time?
