What would you say is the biggest difference between manager and director that I should be aware of?

Directors are over managers. 😁

I feel like managers are a little more hands-on whereas Directors are great at over-seeing the entire program.

Managers have day to day oversight of operations while directors set the strategic direction for the departments and have responsibility for aligning their departments performance with the organization’s goals by delivering on key performance indicators.

A director is more focused on the big picture. They're responsible for setting goals and strategies and they make sure that the team is aligned with the overall goals of the organization. Managers make sure those goals are met. Easy peasy.

I have started a side hustle with two friends. It's Climate Tech related. We have been working with it for the past year as a part-time hustle. We want to take it to the next stage.

My two other friends have a background in consultancy and one of them had a mentor who is really high up at a Big4. He would like to join the start up as a Partner. He seems really experienced and could help raising money, although he does not seem to care about climate change.

What would be a good offer?
