Rising Star
Not really. 20% with poorly performing stock isn’t worth it when you break down the net gain. You’ll work a lot harder with fewer resources
Rising Star
Especially not with a poorly performing stock (which I mean to take to mean has been trending the wrong way the past few years)
Pro
I'm at the former and the comp upside would have you be bigger than 20% to take the latter type opportunity. The latter will certainly be more demanding life encompassing type of role
Rising Star
100% the former, im at the former, and im part of a great legal team with good mentorship and training which is hard to find in house.
I think the ability to move up is harder at an f500. I'd consider which would be better for career development. I am currently at an f200 and promotions are rare and far between and don't necessarily correlate with intelligence and work ethic
Someone asked whether it may be better to “chill and be stable.” I fall, somewhat, into that camp.
I always do my best to secure a challenging, well-paid position, but once in I forget about promotions, raises and bonuses. If / when they come - great. Otherwise, I just try to enjoy and excel at the work.
I don’t want to spend my life swinging from brass ring to brass ring.
Lots of other factors to take into consideration. How long have you been at the current gig? Will WLB get better or worse? How's the team? Commute? Opportunity for growth? Company outlook beyond just recent stock performance? Days in office?
If other factors weigh in favor of the smaller pubco, I don't think it's crazy to take, especially if you think they're in a sector with more upside.
I had a great experience at a small pubco and was able to grow and get promoted rapidly. It became a little too rapid for where I was in my life (small kids), so I left for a bit more predictability/stability (although it came with a pay raise).
I’d take the higher paying, smaller company job unless the other company is in a death spiral. Decent companies’ stock can poorly perform at times.
Is the company with poor stock performance down because of a recent one-time event, or is it poorly managed, or is the industry dying? I would be concerned about future layoffs or spinoffs.
