Would you move to industry with similar pay but higher title? Specifically, a Silicon Valley stable startup, pre IPO and a growing product?

My biggest concern is upwards mobility.

What would you personally look for in this scenario?

Why do you care about titles? If a role paid you more but insisted that you would be an “intern”, would you decline it?

like

Learned this early. Title means nothing - I will take a job that challenges me and pays well over title any day

like

It’s high risk but potentially massive reward. If you believe in the product and company, go for it. If you have doubts about its success, avoid it

like

Specifically in the startup world, the amount of equity you can manage to get is going to be much more impactful than the title

like

Yes

Also factor is how much up can you move here.

You sounds like a punch drinking elitist boob.

Than you should definitely go for it.

I got lucky and now have leadership that seems to care about my career growth, but I'm 1. a little overwhelmed taking over a new role from someone who went on parental leave earlier than expected and 2. not used to thinking outside my day to day job, happy to keep my head down and just produce good work.

most of what I bring up in these meetings are logistical or prioritization concerns but I feel like my manager is expecting a lot more from me.

Small firm: boss, myself, paralegal. Paralegal’s family lends paralegal $ for a transaction. Paralegal pays it before other party holds up their end of deal. Paralegal needs $ because family needs it back & think she still has it since deal isn’t done. I let paralegal borrow money (cover my a** with documentation). First payment is weeks late and only made on demand. Month 2 not paid. Month 3 is overdue a few days. Should I file suit? Loop in my boss? Other options? It’s 2/3 my total savings.

Someone please let me in on what’s going on with pharmaceutical advertising. Why is it the dumbest, most juvenile shit on television? It’s all horrible. My guess is you guys are getting paid a lot to work with a bunch of know it all, god complex doctors. So you compete to see who can create the biggest pile of shit on tv. Kind of the opposite of the One Show I guess. Please share because I cannot fathom how the dry eyes, eye drop commercial I just saw even got presented to a client.

(She said she can’t refer me again for 12 months) I’m not even sure if I applied correctly under her referral. The first two jobs I applied for were through talent community as I normally would without a referral. Help, I’m so lost :(
