p*******3 发帖数: 88 | 1 Hi,
I really need some advice for a major career decision.
I'm 36, really feel that I need to make a breakthrough in my career.
I currently work at a start-up, doing product management. My title is
director, but I don't manage anyone. In my previous job, I managed a team of
6 people.
My current job is dead end in many ways.
I just got a job offer with P&L responsibilities to manage a product line
with annual revenue of $50M+. I'll manage 3 people. It all sounds good.
However, the base salary com |

better one with the experience. |

willing to take pay cut.

p*******3 发帖数: 88 | 9 This company is working hard to increase profit (they're public and under a
lot of pressure from wall street.)
So, they pay low in cash, but a little bit high on stock options. However, I
have no idea how high the stock could go. It could end up nothing -- I was
given stock options not RSUs.
Also, they need to pay a 3rd-party head hunter (who referred me) for 20%
referral fees.

p*******3 发帖数: 88 | 10 I'm not making a major career change -- I know the domain very well -- it's
basically moving from PM to product line manager. But, I never had P&L
experience. Clearly, they know it's attractive to me, and they're being very
shrewd in low-balling me a little bit.

p*******3 发帖数: 88 | 13 Good question..
It's a niche product line, but has been growing well for the past couple of
years. It used to be a step child in the company, but it is now account for
$15-20% of the company's total revenue. So, more attention is given to the
product line, and that's why they're hiring someone. The previous manager
got promoted because he did a good job in past 2 years.

K*******A 发帖数: 821 | 17 先看自己有没有这水平吧,成本降不下来,估计很快要被公司当成本而强行裁减的。 |

15% performance bonus
10K sign-on, plus stock options. |

作为一个product line manager, 这个pay真的不高,而且还要manage 3 people
还是大公司

m********r 发帖数: 543 | 24 NO. Never sell yourself short. Even if you do, your boss would take it for
granted in the future years to come that you are willing to work hard while
paid lower than market value. If you are a permanent residence in this
country, I really don't see a point you have to sell yourself short like
those new-come immigrants do.

c*****v 发帖数: 839 | 26 The bottom line is that you are paid well in a start up and this offer seems
not so attractive in pay scale. The hiring companies gets the uphand as
there are no shortage of candidates in this market.
I would negotiate a little bit more but don't expect too much. If this is
the right opportunity for you, compensation will eventually catch up.
