I have a good salary at a failing start up, and I can’t seem to find any jobs that provide a similar salary. I love my current job, but I’m worried that the company will not be able to secure enough funding to last us 6 more months.

Should I take a pay cut (150k --> 100k) to work at a different company? Or should I wait it out for another few months at my current company?

For context, I support my SO in a HCOL area and we don’t have much savings. Trying to build that up right now…

Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you!

    If you think they will be out of business in 3 months, take a 40% pay cut if you have the opportunity

    6 months - 30%

    1 year - 10% - 15%.

    ​

    This is not exact but rough math based on the multiplication of perceived salary and chances of landing a job.
