Seems like every single one I’ve found requires previous experience building and launching software products... so unless you’ve done that in your role or something very similar, maybe build and launch something on the side

What companies have you looked into specifically? I've just been casually browsing various exit opps and juat started looking into this

Thanks for the detailed response, it's really helpful. At face value it seemed like something that *could* apply to our line of work, but i definitely see what you mean

Hi Fishes.
I’m an L4 IC. I just got promoted to L4 in an off cycle promotion. It’s been only a month and since it’s a CS based role we work in Night Shifts. I feel monotonous within a month as it is a Virtual role.
I started to look for roles in JobFinder. The HMs are okay to consider, but the thing is “How do I say it my Current Manager??”
Can anyone give a subtle idea, such that my Current manager agrees even though its a month only?

Looking at exits into pharma and biotech. Have an opp at a biotech at the SM level. Total comp excluding equity is around $190k; RSUs vest over 4 years with annual refreshers, so first year equity would be around $6,200 and it would go up by $6,200 each of the next 3 years, plus whatever base bump I get. Very good benefits package.

They envision 2-3 years before I jump either to AD or right to D. Solid opp? Or hold out to go straight to director level?
