The best thing an employee can do is ask themselves "Will I be happy right now if I take this job?" Working for a company because they've promised you stock, or career advancement, or a mission in life is a surefire way to guarantee disappointment when the promises fail to pan out. Even the best-meaning managers tend to be grossly optimistic when pitching their companies to a new hire. If the job is satisfying from day one, nothing that fails to happen down the road will be a cause for bitterness and regret.
