The one thing I do know is that I want the shortest path to a "C" level position. Right now, the two opportunities are basically tied in that regard. They are also tied (at least so far) on salary. This may change when I get my actual offer. Number of direct reports is somewhat important, but I guess the concept of "total business influence" is higher. In other words, at my current job I can leverage my experience to actually get important stuff done. At the new company, I'd be pretty much at the bottom. An, oh this is a big one, my current job lets me work from home every day. This is a key part of the 4-hour work week strategy. The other company would make me go to an office. Boo!
