I think you need to know things about both yourself and the company before you can make a decision like this. Questions about yourself: * Are you willing to sacrifice your free time and family time for your job? * Can you get things done, even if it's not so clean? * When crunch mode hits, how will you keep yourself centered? (e.g. exercise) Questions about the company: * What is the expected work schedule, and does it fit your life? * How are they funded, do they have a revenue stream? * What is the 1, 3, and 5 year plan for the company? * Does your compensation include equity? Hope this helps, Matthew

All very good questions. My responses to a few: - The higher-up technical roles are pretty well fleshed out, so unless somebody dips out, it seems difficult for me to move 'up' (which isn't to say I can't advance diagonally, so to speak). This ties directly into the longer term company plan, and how I fit in, and I have heard a few intriguing ideas here in talking to employees. - Revenue is definitely coming in... curious to find out what the funding/revenue split looks like. Equity is up for grabs, subject to negotiation. Excellent comments, I'm taking notes now. Thank you Matthew.
