Are you ready to plateau in exchange for WLB?

Plateau is a strong word.. slow down progression May be a better way to put it

Slalom - ~3-4 years. Variety of factors, could be quicker (cloud is mo I got very quickly if you perform), ratings play a factor, product visibility, RoI to Google/have you done any 10x opportunities.

You’ll get equity refreshers yearly on top of your initial lump sum, an annual bonus, and a % raise too, so the comp is definitely always competitive.

For context I’m the only resource below my M, yet I feel under utilized and my M is constantly working late. Should I raise the concern to my SM if I’m worried that my M may be a bottleneck?

Situation.
Company A - All interviews done, no update yet even after follow ups. Your preferred job.
Company B - offer received. Your second preference.

Does sending email to A work citing that you have received another offer but A is your first choice? Has anyone tried this? Will that speed up A’s decision making process or they turn cold assuming you to be a hardball in negotiations as you already have another offer.
