Founder's Office - Worth it for Experienced folks?
Are the Lead - Founder's Office/Chief of Strategy roles worth it for someone with 9y experience in Business Operations? What can be suitable exit options here?
I would like to say that Indian firms have made a joke out of critical titles such as Chief of Staff! 🤷♂️
In big tech; CoS is an extremely critical & cutthroat leadership role, equivalent to a Sr. Director but here anyone can be CoS at 4-5 yoe. 😅
Recently a similar folks applied for the role of L8 & recruiter pointed out that he is CoS & graduated in 2018.
What do you think?
Quite true CoS has become extremely random. It's obv a generalist role, but it's become something that isn't really transferrable, changes completely from one startup to the other
One CoS would just be handling investor requests, while the other would purely be managing schedules and project tracking for the CEO. People need to manage this better.
Then title them as executive assistants or Support Staff Specialist.
But not CoS!
Chief of staff is the literal equivalent of a Chanakya.. but in Indian startups its become as good as "highly paid intern" who can do whatever the CEO needs
Yeah kind of correct comparison.
Someone 2 years my junior from school (aged 25) is “Chief of Staff” at a startup. All he’s done recently is make LinkedIn posts about hiring “x” position - something the HR executive from my company does daily. I also see him comment “glad to have you onboard” when someone joins I guess.
All in all, I don’t really believe he has any qualifications to be “chief” of anything YET. But yeah, the position is a joke at the moment.
Wonder if they will ever realise what a CoS truly means. 😅🤷♂️
The only chief of staff I know is from tv series 24, correct me if I am wrong 😁

What are the reviews on founders office roles, is it really impact creation or just program management? What is the salary range for series a startup founders office role
What does someone who is Chief of staff actually do ? Why do early stage startups look at hiring for these roles ?
I'm getting into CoS role with my next switch and 4 years post MBA it finally feels I'm doing something related
What are the career growth opportunities? How does on move from here?
If you are/have been a CoS please share your experien...
