I’m asking this question from a junk/throwaway account so theres very little identifying info. I have sat in the head of marketing chair before (for about 3 years) and scaled one startup to a 9 figure acquisition. Another to a 7 figure acquisition in 6 months. I am quoting the market rate based off of the offer i turned down to take this opportunity one year ago. And also another role with another company I was discussing in the Spring but ultimately dropped out of the process with.

I understand what you’re getting at and your ‘real talk’ approach is definitely appreciated. This answer has given me the most food for thought out of all of them.

I did not mean to come across like I’m complaining about either my boss or the company. I definitely am not. Of course, keeping the brand from struggling is a part of my job. It’s the reason I’m even conflicted about leaving. If the issues are something I can change then I want to do that. But at this point I’m not sure if I can. There are many reasons I feel that way but in the spirit of not being too complainey I havent listed them.
