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!

    Try to get closer to 120 but yea take it if the ship is really sinking. Try to delay start date. Then delay it again.

    I was at a robotics startup “with plenty of funding.” We processed to lay off 75% of the company this spring. It’ll come quick.
