Elvi Caperonis spent over seven years at a Magnificent 7 company, four of which were in a management role. While she was hired at $102,000 in 2017 — and also received an initial sign-on payment of $15,000, plus a second sign-on payment of $11,000 after her first year — she sometimes kicks herself about accepting the offer she did.
