Ask HN: Big title at a small company or a small title at a brand?

[Lindathefounder]

Hi all,

Im trying to design my career path in Business development after closing a startup of my own (As Head of BizDev). One of the hardest things with job searching is understanding whether it is better to have a big title (and a salary that fits it) at a small unknown company or go for a smaller title at a known brand.

I am currently interviewing for a Business Development Manager position at a company that is not so known, which has a product I don't really connect with. Nontheless, the pay is very nice and I am hoping to advance to a bizdev manager position elsewhere within a year. The alternative is going for an account manager\junior partnerships position at a well known startup (with less pay) which has a very interesting product.

Regardless of my interest in each company, I was wondering what would be a better choice for a career in BizDev.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
