Cut my salary and benfits for a cool new startup?
Well, i&#x27;m scratching my head here. i was offered to join a startup, very cool one - but i&#x27;m not doing it in full heart:
what i have in my current job (big enterprise):
1. high salary
2. already proved myself
3. very very flexible work hours
4. can bring my pet to work
5. i have some unvested stocks - for the next years
6. we have more benefits here, gym, massages, etc...<p>but, i feel i won&#x27;t learn here as much as i&#x27;ll learn in the new place.. if i&#x27;ll join the new startup, the pros:
1. i&#x27;ll get around 1% options (it can be deluded in the future i guess)
2. awesome people, and be among the first people working there
3. i believe in the product, it&#x27;s already deployed at some customers
4. closer to where i currently live (i won&#x27;t need a car)
the cons:
1. lower salary (around 1600$ per month)
2. its after a funding round, but unsecured job instead of a secured one i have now.
4. probably more hours, i will have troubles maybe with my pet (leaving it alone at home)<p>i can&#x27;t decide what to do, i&#x27;m leaning toward joining it, i&#x27;ve told them ok - but i can&#x27;t do it in full heart..
what else do i need to consider?
