🚀 Working with early-stage companies, I've had a unique lens of seeing the evolution of finance teams and how they are structured early on. Joining an early-stage tech company can be a game-changer for finance professionals. But it’s not without its challenges. Here’s a quick breakdown: Pros: ✅ Agility: Implement changes swiftly and see real-time results. ✅ Impact: Take on a larger role with significant influence over strategic decisions. ✅ Collaboration: Enjoy closer, more productive interactions across different departments. ✅ Financial Upside: Potential for substantial gains if the company grows and your equity stakes increase. Challenges: ☑️ Greater Responsibility: Your decisions have direct impacts, often with fewer resources. ☑️ Less Structure: Be prepared to hit the ground running without the extensive onboarding process typical in larger companies. ☑️ Vetting is Vital: Choose wisely. Your role's success can hinge on the company’s culture and financial health. ☑️ In-depth Research Needed: Thoroughly investigate potential employers—transparency about their operations and challenges is critical.

I'm an economics student building a startup for new-age marketing solutions. This post is for everyone who stresses about what to pursue. I began my career working for BNY Mellon and ZS. On my resume, having these corporate giants looked impressive. I was spoiled by the corporate culture, with its amazing amenities, weekend parties, and just 8-hour workdays. 🎉 But I wasn't satisfied. Kick, nai mil rhi this Yaar! I took a break, researched current market trends, and discovered influencer marketing was gaining traction in 2020. I joined a startup as part of the founding team, without any prior experience, and did quite well. Over the next two years, with the help of a great team and immense support from the founders, we managed to increase our revenue fivefold, with a stable recurring revenue of up to 70%. 📈 I then pivoted and started leading three business streams, all built from scratch within the same company. Yet again, I found myself lacking the thrill I sought. Now, I'm spending my time building my startup to provide new-age marketing solutions, struggling to acquire new clients and establish stable revenue. But here I am, embracing the struggles, with a dream to build something of my own. To all the readers out there, We all have periods when we wonder, are these struggles worth it? Why to put so much effort when you can easily secure a high-paying job? P.S. I've even received some very attractive job offers. PSS. Seek out your thrilling moments and follow your heart to make each working day feel like a holiday. What's the thrill you're seeking in your career? Drop a comment and let’s spark a conversation. #building #storytelling #startup

First day back to work, and I don’t know about you, but this one is moving slowly! This is day 5 of the 8 leadership tips I gleaned in a 2015 interview I did Jack Bogle, for a CNBC story. Jack founded Vanguard, one of the most important American companies in history, a $7.2 trillion asset management company that is shareholder-owned and that brought the costs of investing down for middle-class Americans. He was also one of the advocates of index investing for everyday investors to build wealth, a strategy that today’s robo advisors use to good effect. He carried over his respect for individual investors into the employee policies at Vanguard. It’s usually the case that the people who run companies think their employees are happy and well-paid (probably because they, themselves are). Sometimes – I think often, today, in America -- all of your employees are not OK. PayPal’s Dan Schulman is a rare example of a leader who went public with his own realizations on this topic. After he discovered that PayPal’s employees were struggling, he and the board instituted changes to the pay structure. Before he happened to order a report on whether people were able to live on their salaries, he had no idea. Of course, if you’re going to put into practice the idea of sharing the wealth – either with your customers or your employees – you have to decide that you’re OK with giving up some of your potential future wealth. That’s one of the things Jack wrote about in one of his books, Enough. Here’s Jack’s leadership antidote for how to operationalize this aspect of running a company.

Embrace the concept of reciprocity “If you want people to trust you, you have to trust them. If you want people to be loyal to you, you have to be loyal to them,” Bogle said. “You give people responsible jobs and help them do them the best way you can.” One example from Vanguard during Bogle’s tenure (I don’t know if the company still does this): The company has a partnership plan that calculates bonuses for employees based on how much less Vanguard’s expense ratio is than its competitors’ and how much its funds outperform. During Bogle’s tenure as CEO, annual bonuses could amount to as much as 30 percent of an employees’ pay.

Founder and CEO at VM Management Consulting and Advisory, Stanford Seed Consultant, Faculty IIM Indore. Specializing in Business Turnaround. Hindalco industries, Supreme Industries, Green Panel, Kriti Industries, BSL Ltd
Taking Leap and Capturing Opportunities. How often have you come up with a good idea, but it has stayed on paper forever? Or the opportunity was knocking on your door itself, but you missed all the signs? Quite a few business owners have not been able to expand or increase themselves because of it. It's an expense and not an investment. Ideas don’t come out fully formed. They evolve as you work on them. Many business owners stall because they fear the unknown or see only the costs, not the potential. Even Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg has said, “Ideas only become clear as you work on them. You just have to get started. If I had to know everything about connecting people before I got started, I never would’ve built Facebook.” Successful entrepreneurs don’t wait for the perfect plan. They take the first step, adapt, and grow. They understand that real progress comes from taking calculated risks and embracing the journey, not waiting for a single eureka moment. And of course, you can’t do it all alone. It does take a village. Those who take guidance from experts and consultants and give weight to their wisdom go ahead. The global market for business consulting was worth $313 billion in 2023 and is expected to grow to $526 billion by 2031. This growth highlights the increasing reliance on expert guidance to drive business success. They bring fresh perspectives, identify blind spots, and offer strategies you might never consider. Their wisdom isn't just advice; it’s a roadmap to success. Hesitating will make you lose time. Start moving. Invest in expertise. Leap forward. Those who take calculated risks and value expert insights are the ones who soar. The path to expansion is filled with opportunities. Grab them, learn from them, and grow. Remember, success isn’t a sudden realization. It’s a series of informed steps. Start today. #VijaySays #McKinsey #BCG #Bain #P&G #EY #PwC #Deloitte #KPMG #StanfordSeed #IIM #ISB #CII #IMA #DalyCollege #Ascent #Sobers #MarkZuckerberg #Facebook #Meta #consulting #guidance #mentor #roadmap #opportunities #eureka #VMManagementConsultingAndAdvisory

Find your authentic sales voice || 🇰🇷🇺🇸Tech Sales Coach || Co-host Decoding Sales Podcast || Speaker
My senior year of college I was dejected after being rejected from all the investment banks and consulting firms I applied to. As an economics graduate at Stanford, I felt like I needed to show my worth by getting into Goldman Sachs, McKinsey, or one of the “top tier” firms. But now I’m proud that I took a different path, one that led me to tech sales. The rejections from banks and consulting firms were one of the best things that happened to me. Without those “no’s”, I wouldn't have gone into tech sales, which is now a passion that I can’t imagine living without. That path led me to Google, then Dropbox, Slack, Front, Streak, and most recently Twingate. By seeing and operating within both large and small companies grappling with evolving sales paradigms & frameworks, I now get to share those experiences with startup founders while providing tips on how to best design their own sales journeys. If you’re early in your career and wondering what path to take, don’t listen to the masses or be disappointed that your initial vision for success isn’t lining up with superficial expectations. Be open to taking contrarian routes to get to where you need to be. I’m now glad to be running my own business and sharing the power of authentic selling techniques while leaning into my roots as an Asian American within tech sales. What forks in the road are you approaching and which path will you explore? #tech #sales #asianinsales #careergrowth
