That’s so true!

Thank you!

It’s actually the opposite. If I stay I can try to help the company succeed, which I am actively doing, and that is one of the reasons I do not want to leave. Morally speaking, I want to stay and do everything I can to help. The salary is fair for my title and my responsibilities, but I cannot find that title anywhere, and only lower positions (or much higher for which I’m not qualified for) are available right now, hence the paycut.

As for your last point, obviously that’s an option, but that is not my question. My question is regarding the start up decision given our current situation.

Hi, yeah great questions. For the latter questions, the estimate I give is a hypothetical, so there is no specific job associated with that salary.

As for the first couple questions, I would likely not receive severance as I anticipate that I’ll be one of the last to go. Unemployment benefits, yes. Savings are low, but growing. Will strategize based on my financial situation. Thank you for the advice.

Already doing that 💪

I love the product and love the job and pour every ounce of my soul to make it work.

That’s one way to look at it! Thanks for the perspective

That’s exactly what I was thinking, but it seems like the consensus on here is that stability is better than a much higher salary.

You’re absolutely correct. I have golden handcuffs. Just need to figure out the next steps. Sad to take a pay cut. Want to give my SO a good, steady life, and good opportunities in his artistic endeavors.
