VP to Start-up London?

Interested in hearing about people's experiences leaving as a VP (particularly in London) to a start-up in a Chief of Staff, CFO, Corp Dev, Corp Strat, FP&A role 

General feels and how you're finding it?

Easy to make the transition?

Pay-cut to base and bonus to be expected or similar base and if so how much? - Not sure how competitive start-ups are atm

Do you feel like the work is dynamic and interesting? Corp Dev at a big F500 seems like a slow and boring death
