Are you personally making profit? Are your paychecks coming in regularly, and your lifestyle still being supported? If that's the case, then back down and don't sweat the rest of it. I understand your idea that you want to be passionate about your work; but at the end of the day, you need to be passionate about your income.
The moment the company isn't supporting your personal income needs and/or goals is when it's time to think about leaving. You can't make yourself beholden to a group that's going to end you up on the street hungry. And at the same time, you shouldn't take a risk on something that "might be" rather than something that is real. The rest of it is more or less bunk.
- ipswitch 8y agoThanks, but I can't really get behind your point of view at all. I'll go on a limb and say that startups are not typically started by people who just want their paycheque to come in. Its either people pursuing their passion, people wanting to "make it big" or both. Because honestly - as an experienced software developer living in a "western" country I wouldn't need to work double shifts in a startup - good paying IT jobs are not that hard to find.
