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!

    Start looking now so that you’ll have outside options when your startup runs out of cash. Just keep an active job search process going so you can quickly jump ship. You say that the salaries you are finding are too low. Perhaps you need to reach a bit and apply for more senior roles even if you don’t feel fully qualified??
