Would you take a 10% pay cut to work at a tech unicorn with an executive sounding job title? Think project leader to C-level role. No promise of equity until after a year.

Which “unicorn”?

Just to add, I’ve already pushed back, but wanted to see what the opinions were here

Money > Title

No title inflation is a real thing.

No equity = red flag. Especially at that level.

Do not accept this.

No equity? No dice.

Looking for advice on career change. I’m a 45 year old single mom - I’ve been at my job for 18 years. I know I could be doing more. The job isn’t fulfilling and the workplace is rather toxic. The pay is pretty good - when I look at other open positions in my field / the pay is much less or the same. Honestly just unsure of what I “want” to do. Stay where I am and get a side hustle that may be fulfilling or change careers altogether. I’m a placement coordinator at a home care agency.

Hey! Any Google folks know if it’s possible to negotiate fully remote if a contract role is hybrid? Personally, I don’t want to relocate and go to the office on a contract role given the current economy. Plus, I’m assuming contractors are the first to go in layoffs. I just think it’s a fair trade off if I’d be allowed to work fully remote. I’m also trying to have flexibility to manage my Airbnb business in a different country. Same time zone as the home office if I’d travel weeks at a time.
