You are leaving $40K+ on the table because of, title?

It’s very possible that recruiters already know that company B titles > company A titles.

If you plan to stay 2 years or less, take company A if you really want that title and it can transfer to your next job. I just don’t see how taking less money makes sense otherwise

Great points. Thank you!

You have two offers in this job market?

Consider TC, not just base.

If you can’t decide whether you want to work provider side or innovation side, especially doing BD… total yikes.

I ultimately chose to accept the Director role. I think it will be better for my long-term professional development. Thank you for your input!
