They are good questions that I can ask at the end actually, many thanks

All those...and remember this: a small agency will have the personality of the founders. Are they trustworthy? Do they have the best of intentions but not the corresponding actions? Are they starting out and looking to conquer the world or are they just trying to make a nice life for themselves?

Make sure your values and theirs are aligned.

Question, if you pay off your house isn’t a 100k salary more than enough to sustain a good lifestyle? My goal has always been to payoff my mortgage then find a really easy analyst role to sustain my expenses. Assuming I’m a director/VP by the time my mortgage is paid off I’d probably be able to do an analyst 40hr week in like 10hrs. Esp at some of these low expectation companies. What do y’all think about this plan?
