1 year agoNot sure why you’d make your company all about AI in the first place?
Solve a genuine business problem first, maybe you use AI to do that, but don’t crowbar it in unless it’s needed to solve the actual problem.
Recent events should have proven that just putting a nice UI in front of a platform is a recipe for being rug-pulled (though it doesn’t help that they’re often able to raise significant VC before that happens…)
This is known as “golden handcuffs”.
You are likely overpaid, because the company NEEDS to overpay to get and keep people like you in their current state.
I companies like this often had an initial growth phase followed by prolonged stagnation. The shine comes off the business eventually and it becomes very difficult to build any momentum without drastic changes.
If/when those drastic changes actually happen, they probably don’t include you.
Either be the change (if that’s within your power), or leave. IMO
