Product marketing will take you further.

Great to hear! Thank you

And current equity is worth 250k (only likely to grow…) sounds amazing. I definitely should have negotiated more

Honestly, the equity value will never “go down”. It’ll either keep increasing or just never go public or get acquired and then be worthless

The brand is to earn you money. Take the money. PwC brand isn’t all that special if you can get the second offer already.

That’s an excellent point. Thank you

Sounds like a no brainer?

Thank you!

What do you want to do?

Agree w above. Pwc doesn’t have brand value if your goal is product

Product marketing all day. You'll start back and ground zero when it comes to transitioning to product marketing - even if you spend two or three more years in consulting. At some point (and it's not much) there are diminishing returns.

Sounds like you’re on a right track. Best of luck!

VP role. There are going to be jobs upon jobs at PWC. Do the VP role and if you hate it - go back to PWC. They will still be there

Left as senior associate. Joined as L3 insights analyst. Borderline L4 but will be up for promo in 11 months. Comp went fro 115 to ~250k. Post promo will be 300+

VP of product comp sounds like massive title inflation

likehelpful

I agree!

VP role, especially since you want to do product. Relevant experience trumps the PwC brand name.

smart

Another good point. Thanks!

Isn’t this low for VP level for product... I have heard SM getting slightly close to this comp, am I missing something?

like

It’s a small startup that is just past Series B. the team is made mostly of VP roles. so I’d say in title it’s VP (which is a plus for resume) but role wise it’s probably closer to SM. There are two manager roles reporting to the VP role.
