Until the startup goes under, 6-24 months later 🙃

I think it depends on the startup. I'd say a year on average if it's going nowhere.

I’d say it changes based on the trajectory of the company for me. If I feel like it’s a good product and we are going somewhere I try to stick it out until we are acquired so that I profit as much as possible off of it.

It depends on their involvement in growing the startup but maybe 2-3 years

I stayed just over year in my last one (Seed-Series A level), great company and prospects and we grew a lot but the role wasn’t what I signed up for.

Hi super mamas! I desperately need advice on toddler sleep training! Our daughter was sleep trained when at 7 months and she’s been the best sleeper ever. Now she’s 2.5 YO and starting to not want to sleep until I stays in her room until she falls asleep and she also wakes up 1-2 times at night crying asks for mama and walks out of the bed until I come in and put her down- by sitting next to her bed. If I don’t go in, she would sit on the floor outside of her bed for hours without sleeping!

As an analyst I have been told (not asked) by one of the managers (not my direct manager) that I need to handhold the sr analyst he hired through every little detail such as helping him find data sources to pivot tables. The thing is there is a button in excel that shows what data the pivot table is sourced. Is it best to keep quiet and handhold this analyst? Or is it worth trying to escalate this? I have limited bandwidth and I have been working 50+ hours constantly. Some weeks 85+hours.
