Would you rather accept a decent offer now or wait for a role that feels like the right fit but is not guaranteed? Patience sounds sensible, but uncertainty is hard especially in the current market... How do I know when waiting is strategic and when it is fear?

There really isn't much to think about. Take the decent offer. Keep applying to the right fit company. Take their offer if/when it comes.

This isn't a job market where most people have the luxury of patience. Your next job offer might not come for 6 months or more. Unless you are one of the lucky few that is still in demand, take the job. You can always keep job hunting to look for something that pays better.

I'm also concerned about exits from CEO's office roles, what do they look like?
