Unclear - “innovative” is pretty broad - is it a privately-owned startup? What’s your view on equity upside? (Eg Snap and Twitter are “innovative”, but already publicly traded and disaster valuations)

You framed the argument pretty one-sided, so I assume your heart is in leaving, but it’s worth thinking about it holistically

Objectively, you’re a predictable / transparent promotion away from a six figure raise to EM / PL in the next year or two

So your annual comp will be six figures more than current? I think you should hold out for more. Nice humblebrag

What is your argument for staying?

BCG will always be there, enjoy your new opportunity

Partner1... innovative was meant to be vague... promotion timing is in <6months to EM/PL... both offers seem to be for roles that an EM/PL would go into, but maybe I’m wrong? Do EM/PLs go into senior director roles?

Equity you mentioned would be 4-5yr vest...
Your bonus though may grow at higher pace at your current firm with upcoming promotion.. negating most big not all of equity upside.
Create a model.. some scenario analysis.. see where you end up.

EM/PLs are a dime a dozen. Go. Don’t look back.

Nothing about that story adds up. Unless you’re at a telco? Not sure how many companies let a director manage a $100M edge computing business.

But yeah, if it’s an emerging tech company, you should def bail - that’s once in a lifetime

FYI my inflation increase was larger than my promotion increase and my student loan payments also were stopped since I’m no longer an SA. I think what is holding me back is my guilt for my immediate team but just want to check.
