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!

    ABA - always be applying

    I find that when I’m looking for a job, it can take a few weeks for my applications to start getting me interviews, and another week or two for those to materialize into offers.

    Start looking for a job, but turn down every job that isn’t what you want. This way, if you are laid off, you’ll already have some interviews lined up and then you can take a less-than-perfect job offer.
