Honestly it depends on your place in life. If you REALLY believe in the company and can afford to do so, then it's probably worth it. I don't have that luxury

Honestly it depends on your place in life. If you REALLY believe in the company and can afford to do so, then it's probably worth it. I don't have that luxury (2 kids) right now so when I went to the current startup I'm with it was a sideways step. However I really believe in the company and was willing to take the risk of it not working out to make the move. In fact I'm technically making less due to increased commute time and benefits changes but again, I really believe in the company.
