> I let my boss convince me to stay on That sucks, it happens, it's not just you. One place, I had reason to leave. Coincidentally, a non-startup, who I'd previously chosen the current place over, re-approached me, with an even sweeter deal than before (VP, doubling my TC, and a great team). So I went to an exec of the place where I was, saying what the showstopper org problems were, and that I had urgency to make a decision. They convinced me we'd solve the problems, so I decided to stay, out of general policy of loyalty to whatever team I'm currently on. Tech company battle-hardened veterans can guess correctly how that worked out. :)
