Working for MBB but struggling with health, sleep etc. Thinking of joining Google (sadly right before making manager- 1 yr away). but of course had I left as manager total comp and role would have been more attractive. Is it worth suffering for at least another year then exit. I also hear exits are best as 2nd year manager. Total comp at Google is same as at MBB but significantly less hours

Google S&O or PE ops? Both AI-related roles. Google base + bonus + stock is slightly more than PE base + bonus, excluding carry which is long dated. Google is closer to frontier AI, PE ops is value creation.

7 years out of undergrad (ivy league business program), ~4 years in MBB, then ~2 years on the internal strategy team at a major philanthropy, now ~6 months in strategic partnerships at a startup. Got an L4 offer for Strategic Partner Manager at Google. Didn’t know about leveling when I applied and probably should’ve targeted L5. It’s a meaningful paycut ($205k, $155k options) Google Y1 ~$230k vs current ~$275k Base: $155 (current $205) Bonus: 15% Equity: $105k Sign on bonus: $15k Thoughts?

Received an offer but now having second thoughts. Is there a polite way to convey to a recruiter that you've gotten cold feet after receiving an offer (in line with the number you asked for) without coming off like a bad guy? Comp not being in line with expectations is out the door- but what else could I mention as a valid reason?

Hi all. My mental health is in a terrible situation. I need to apply for short term disability leave. My current psychiatrist is not willing to fill the paper work citing it creates additional work, but is willing to inform. Can you please help share/ DM me if you know any psychiatrist/psychologist in NY who could help.
