That is often the real tradeoff. At a large, selective company, the surrounding talent pool can be much stronger, the systems are better developed, and even people below you may have deeper expertise than senior people at a smaller firm. Moving down-market can therefore mean gaining authority while losing peer quality, institutional competence, and the chance to learn from unusually capable colleagues.

For some people, that is still worth it because they value control more than intellectual environment. They would rather make the decisions with a weaker team than remain one strong person among many, especially if they believe they can upgrade the talent around them. The danger is that they underestimate how much of their own effectiveness was produced by the large company’s infrastructure, brand, data, recruiting power, and competent support functions.

So the move is best when the smaller company is unusually strong for its size, well-funded, growing, or already attracting high-quality people. It is much worse when the company is merely small, under-resourced, and mediocre, because then the “bigger role” can become managing weaker people inside weaker systems with fewer options. In that case, the title is larger but the actual career platform is smaller.

"running his small business" is not what "highest fag at a small company" means. If I meant "running his small business" I would've said "top fag at a his own company"

Also top fags at their own companies are usually prole nasty looking retards anyway.

No. Once a company is Profitable they throw enormous resources into maintaining that profitability and satisfying shareholders so whatever it takes. More money into recruiting and screening for better employees, endless money thrown at problems, money for management consulting teams to analyze everything to death and fix any perceived "problem". Anything outside the top few hundred companies is the opposite, operating like they are constantly on the verge of bankruptcy. Constant waste of what little leverage they have, people lying and cheating and cutting corners and slacking. It's a Joke.

In most cases, they get pushed out of bigco and take the first job that they can spin as a step up, which involves going to a shittier company that is impressed by their F100 experience and will call them a VP of whatever (with a tiny portfolio and 1 clueless direct report). This is pretty obvious when you see all the here today/gone tomorrow mid-level people inside any megacorp. It always takes a few months for their LinkedIn to update from Director of Some BS at a household name to VP of Fake Garbage at a company you need to Google to identify. Most companies now have a constant churn of this move rather than big announced rounds of layoffs.
