Should I move from a fintech's Strategy team?
Hi guys
I am currently unsure if I should accept an offer I was proposed.
I currently work in a Strategic Operations role in a fintech scale-up for 2 years already and, even though it's a sexy job/dept, I'm super unmotivated as I have 0 visibility over what my next steps here are.
So I've been applying to every role I find that would fit my career goals - ideally I'd be going back to a Financial Services multinational corporate world (more professional talent development programs, easy access to an international career, lots of opportunities to rise the ladder if you demonstrate performance) and my long-term interests are Strategic Operations, Corporate Development, Biz Dev.
I've just received an offer for a ~40% comp increase for a FS multinational company. I've been in multiple processes with them and initially I'd be going for a Strategic Ops role however bad luck happened and I lost that role to an internal candidate.
They then asked me to consider another role to manage and scale up their sales commissions programs across the world. I wasn't super into it at first but they sold me that in 6m-1 year timeframe this could turn into a manager role and that international opportunities are plentiful.
Now I'm a bit unsure on how to proceed. Should I accept the role knowing that I don't want to be running commissions long-term and this is a bet on the company and lateral moves? (I've already dig into LinkedIn profiles and it seems that there's a lot of moving around between departments and countries.) Or should I continue in my Strategy team in my fintech, gain more experience and wait for the perfect opportunity even though the labor market in my country isn't properly churning stellar opportunities every month?
I am tilted towards the former but I'm afraid my reasoning is being tainted by my current utter lack of motivation.
