I know 3 people who jumped from Bain (2) and Deloitte S&O (1) to Wayfair all 2 years post MBA. No one could get the base above $125k but all got really significant stock options

Pay is low. They make up for it with stock incentives. Seems like there is a lot of growing to do but seems like it has good opportunities.

Pay is low

Pay is terrible but I have a friend who works there and the culture seems great

Stock is extremely volatile and could go by which way depending on whether wayfair can become profitable soon. Pay seems to be somewhat negotiable from what I've heard, but starts fairly low

@OP are you pre or post MBA?

Post MBA

Boston? Do they have other locations? They reached out but I wasn't ready to move.

@OP you will get probably 100-120k max from them

Hmm so I’m not the only one who they reached out to

@DD1 any idea what the total package will be for the role?

100-120k does not seem accurate to me for post MBA associate director.. assuming top MBA and good firm... you should be able to get 150+ base if the role is of some importance.. that's a decent level for wayfair I believe

Yes, D1’s figure is closer to what I have been hearing.

@D1 and OP not sure if that’s accurate. Know someone who is an M at Deloitte post MBA S&O that could only get them up to 120 and they are the real deal

DD1 I know someone who got more than that in similar situation... SM level at wayfair though, so assuming AD should be able to do better... guess there is a wide range but be sure to negotiate

Fellow Fishbowlers,
Need to discuss an offer I got from MasterCard for Director of Product, based in Pune, India. Below are my details:
I am a multiple time founder, ran my company for 4 years, a self funded startup, so no concept of salary. My last CTC with a US based firm as a consultant was USD 96000 until Jan 2021 (I was residing in India).
I have an offer in hand from a startup for 90 LPA + 1Cr worth of ESOPs.
What number should I start with and what should I really expect? Thanks much.

Hi everyone,
I relocated with my family to Ireland recently, one month ago, and while I got a lot of screening calls with recruiters, I did not hear back from any of them after our interview. I am still on the process of getting my work permit and I am very clear about this during the interviews, but I suspect that this is the reason why I am not getting any call back. Any tips on the first screening call with recruiters? Should I touch base with them after our interviews?
