I'm actually surprised she gave up her 141K gig to go to a startup. If there's one thing I've learned, you need to make your money when you can.
I don't know I would take a 50K reduction in salary as well additional benefits to go to a startup.
- wetzler 14y agoThanks for reading my post :) I wrote about my decision to make the jump in a previous blog post: http://blog.keen.io/post/26096112831/why-i-left-consulting-and-joined-a-startup http://blog.keen.io/post/26096112831/why-i-left-consulting-a... Some things to consider: 1. Consulting work is still there if I need to return to a higher salary. 2. My salary in the startup will be adjusted if the startup does well. 70k will not work out long term in SF, but it's ok for a year or so.
- colmvp 14y ago'1. Consulting work is still there if I need to return to a higher salary.' Couldn't you technically do that same consulting work at your old job, specifically after work or on the weekends? I agree with your second point though.
