Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

As the title suggests, I often wonder what is the natural progression for people who join startups in Chief of Staff or even Founder's office roles? Do they move to a specialized vertical internally? Or do they move to other startups in CoS roles? Or they do their own venture (I like to believe this is still less likely). Have this thought because a lot of Tier 1 MBA, MBB consultant profiles have been moving to these roles and it really makes me wonder what path would the careers of these top talents take?

Chief of Staff : Career Growth

Chief of Staff is like the Badi Bahu (eldest daughter-in-law), expected to fix 3 decades of shit work culture

One of my bosses introduced me as "She follows me wherever I go"
Am I the Hutch dog?! (If you don't know Hutch dog, you are way too young)

It can be a rewarding role only if you know how to set firm boundaries; otherwise, people gonna take advantage of you.

[Rant] Chief of Staff is just a fancy title

What does someone who is Chief of staff actually do ? Why do early stage startups look at hiring for these roles ?

Product Manager

Hey folks! A lot of people have been asking me on LinkedIn about how to get into strategy / founders' office roles. I'm in that role but I had never 'tried-tried' for it so I'm also not aware of the landscape really.

Would love to hear from other folks here who are in this role to get a better idea of what you do at your orgs! What does your day to day work look like? What was your prior experience? How did you get into this role? etc.

Chief of Staff / Founders' Office / Strategy

Founder’s Office

Hey folks, recently have found myself on career crossroads. Not sure what kind of career paths generalists have after certain YoE. Are there some generalists on the platform with more than 6-7 YoE who can throw light on what kind of roles are available to generalists after a certain level? Ideally, would want to look at big tech cos.

Current profile: 5yrs post mba work ex in consulting + startups.

Senior Program Manager

I consider myself a jack of all trades. I run a small biz on the size. I’m quite disheartened by the lack of generalist leadership roles in companies. 

There is no natural career progression for a chief of staff. Plus, salaries for chief of staffs are not at par with CXOs. 

Is there no other way to rise up the ranks in a generalist role?

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?
