Having a tough time balancing staying at pre-IPO late-stage startup for 4 years for share vesting vs applying to new jobs to move up in title/salary/responsibilities. Base is low compared to what I could be making but major upside post-IPO on what my shares will be worth. Was anyone else in a similar position early in their career and have any thoughts?

If you really enjoy the company and still have time to vest, and IPO seems near, then stay. But do not stagnate there just for those hopes.

I would wait because you have lasted this long already. Why give it up now?

Which company?

I left my job about a year ago to relocate, make sure it was the right decision and start a side business in the mean time. Now I’m actively looking for a new sales position, have tons of experience, but am struggling to even get a response from job apps. I am wondering if this is because of my employment gap? I don’t have my side business listed on my resume because I don’t feel like I have enough positive “stats” to report yet given it’s new. Any advice or recommendations?
