Would you leave consulting to head up strategy at a small growing tech company? Comp is $165k base + bonus. Offer also includes equity (ceo tells me they are planning to IPO...)

Thanks for the feedback 🐠. Definitely connected well with the team. Big con in my eyes is lack of a strong investor board and their product isn’t in a hot space, so might make raising additional capital difficult.

like

Within a year and build out the team more in coming months. Role would report directly to ceo/cfo. Risk is it’s not well capitalized at the moment and they are trying to raise capital quickly..

You got a big mortgage or kids? If not, I can’t think of any reason not to take it

Hell yeah

Do they have strong investors on board? Path to raising additional capital?

Go for it!

Agree. Negotiate like hell for as much equity as you can get and then take the role.

I would not put too much weight on the pre ipo part. If you like the ceo, industry, company and you don’t have big dependents such as kids, go for it. You only live once

Nope

I have two job offers, one offers a salary of 61.5k and the other job offers an hourly rate of $27.65 with $41.48 for OT, as well as Sales Incentive Compensation Plan where the annual target incentive compensation is 42.86%. In other words, I could potentially receive quarterly bonuses that add up to around $24,650.
