A few things come to mind:
1. If you are asking this you may not be feeling as excited as you should or could be about the company and its long-term appreciation potential.
2. I took a paycut to join a tiny fund because I believe in it long term. No regrets. I believe in what we are doing and in the GPs I am supporting. And I believed in attaching my career to their successes and failures.
3. Have you been able to benchmark whether you are being lowballed in title/pay?
For me, those kinds of jumps only make sense if your conviction about the opportunity (long term potential, career growth or impact) trumps short term considerations (lower pay and/or title). And of course assuming such a massive paycut won’t prevent you from living your life (eg. paying for your kids’ stuff).
A 40% pay cut will hurt but make sure you have insight into their current share price, strike price on stock options, anti-dilution clauses, and general idea of what the founders’ target liquidity event and timeline will be.
Also, make sure you’re getting a fair title and amount of options for the respective stage of the company (lots of content on Medium and other sites/blogs about % of company you should own as IC/Management by stage)
