Hi fastlaners,
See question as thread title and explanation below. Go!
I have been offered a position as sales director Europe in a start-up (1 year young,machinery equipment, valuation at 100M$ by KPMG, small team of 20 people). I'd be reporting to CEO and I've work in this industry for a long time, my current employer is a corporate player that entered the industry 5 years back but before I was in another start-up where I experienced the move from start-up to scale-up (10M to 100M in 5 years) in that very same industry.
Basically I'd be doing the job my boss did in my previous start-up. The CEO is someone I met whilst working there and he wants me to execute that role leveraging my past connections with different VARs and resellers. So in terms of culture/leadership I'm pretty safe since I've worked with this guy for a long time.
Thing is... they'd match my corporate salary and add to that the sales quota, most likely will have participation in the company too. So the salary goes to a range that I would not match with a fastlane business in the first 24 months. It's risky, and I'll work 24/7, but at least results will bring extra income and potential exit of 1-2M€ a few years down the line. If it goes to shit, I finally can go and start my own fastlane business since I won't be tied in the golden corporate cage.
To put things in context, I live in Spain. I can buy a house for 200k€.
