What offer to accept:
1) AI- Lead Director level role at a small tech startup company. TC $250k or 2.) Manager level at Bain in TMT strategy for $270k.
Obviously Bain is better comp and is Bain but does hands on applied ownership of AI and Director title matter more?

I think it depends what path you want. Do you want to be in industry or see yourself down partner path at Bain? What work would you prefer to do. The title doesn’t matter.

Definitely not in it for Partner. So would be looking to just have a similar exit opp in a year or two at a better well known brand ideally. But maybe this experience at the small startup would set me up for a better exit eventually

Title, especially at smaller companies, mean nothing. Focus on scope of work and $$

smartlike

Well thats what im conflicted about, the scope of work of owning an AI implementation is cool and something that is relevant to every organization today.

Do you believe in the startup? How much equity would you get? Does the company have a shot to go public? I feel like that’s a very desirable exit from Bain’s TMT group so I’m not sure if I’d join Bain unless I want to be a consulting lifer

They may go public in a couple years but thats what every startup says.

Im okay with less comp but just dont want to get stuck because its a small no name company. I do agree that the exit I would get in a year would be similar to this role in general

Congrats on the offers!
