Startups are not exactly the same. If you want a spoon fed predictable career , stick to EYP. As no one can tell you how a startup in your specific case will work out.

You need to be passionate about what they are doing and have trust in the founder’s vision to begin with. I don’t know what you are trying to spin here? What is your skillset and see if you contribute to that specific startup with that

A lot of startups are hot garbage too: you will work like crazy for people who have no idea of how to run a company and get paid peanuts plus RSUs that will most likely expire with zero value.

I tried asking this in my own bowl with no responses, so seeing if other consultants have run into this situation. I’m on parental leave, I got an offer for another firm, great opportunity and pay. How does one go about a resignation mid-leave when you would start the new job before the leave ends? Two weeks notice or just say I am not returning effective the day of the new job? Any things to consider besides potentially repaying the employer healthcare premium?
