The only reason you should stay is if you think your team will win, which you *should* think. But they should also pay you more than the competition
You should leave whenever someone else offers you a better deal 100% of the time. Don't stick around because you are a "family". You are selling your time go to the highest bidder
Users agree that AI talent should stay only when teams are expected to win and compensation is structured competitively, noting from experience that pay details often drive their own job decisions.
@yacineMTB If you truly believe your team will win the equity works out in the end even if your salary is lower
@yacineMTB reasons to stay
1) you will win 2) you have >1% equity
otherwise take the deal
@yacineMTB Even then, it depends on how the comp's structured.
I agree with your point, but it's not easy to evaluate. I once took a job because I thought I would learn a lot (which I did) even though the pay was 'meh'. One of my best decisions.
