What should be an expected range of compensation for a director of business development at a startup? I would be the right hands of the US lead, and the startup is generating revenue and is about to start their series c round. 4 YOE, with a Phd.

Thanks!

Id say anywhere between $150 - $180k range; 4 YOE might bring it down?

Admittedly this company approached me through LinkedIn. I would highlight any work you've done with startups (blinded, of course) to get a recruiter's attention

You’re selling yourself short here if it’s a biotech. Big pharmaco D comp is ~300 +- 10% all-in and AD ~250 +- 10% all-in. Consider biotech D to be somewhere around these two depending on company.

Considering it’s a pre-IPO series C, you might need to think through the equity component of the all-in more. But don’t think you need to short change yourself because it’s a smaller company. If anything, you are taking extra risk and should be compensated at least equivalently.

Wow, that's very interesting and helpful. Would you mind if I dm you with some additional questions? I'd love to get your thoughts!

I spent the last 3 months "growing up" & now I'm ready to go. 1st thing is for me to get my own place. I'd like to buy instead of rent because I don't want to pay someone else's mortgage.

I'm thinking of selling my car & cash out some of my 401k to buy a house. My thought is to put down 3.5% for a FHA loan then make a big payment towards the principal to reduce long-term interest.

Anything wrong with this thinking or anything else I should consider?

I am in a bit of a good/bad spot. I have worked at Salesforce for close to a year as a consultant. They want to bring back travel to 50%+ post Covid and I am not feeling that motivated to be away from my family that often. I have an opportunity to join a startup as a Sr. PM likely making the same or a tiny bit less. But no travel and not consulting. All internal project. I don’t know what else I should be looking at. I am asking here cause you guys are all smarter than my childhood friends…
