I got an offer for a start up company on Friday and wondering if I should take it. Same base pay as what I’m make now which is $200k. Fully onsite. Companys stable. Team seemed cool goodbenefits. But don’t like the whole having to go on-site everyday. It’s about a 30minute drive each way. Or stay at my current job. Same base pay. Manager sucks. Hybrid role. Also 30 minutes away but toxic work environment. Good benefits as well. Or do I look to see what else is out there?

I’m not sure the definition of “startup” includes the word “stable.”

Yeah I thought about that too.

Any environment can be toxic. How you navigate is important from a learning standpoint. Does WLB matter in this phase of your life. Do you have kids or any other personal life events coming up? Look beyond monetary benefits if both are same. Only you have the answer. Good luck!

Yes I have elementary school age kids. Right now, with hybrid, there are days I can pick them up.

Don't take it. You'll sit at that level in perpetuity if it's a family owned business. Unless a "startup" gives you equity, what's the point?

If you are in a toxic place, then you should take the new role. Much better to be happy.

Is there equity of some sort with the new gig? For my clients, that's the pull of a startup usually.

No equity. Family owned. No investors

How does the hours requirement compare?

I’ve been promoted 3X in startups. It’s fast paced but it gives you the opportunity for upward mobility. I’d do it if you truly feel the company is stable. If it’s not stable, don’t do it.

Take it and keep looking

Not sure if this has been asked before but what are your billable expectations, what year are you, and what size firm are you at?

I have been lurking on fishbowl for a bit and it seems that my billable expectations at my small firm are too high (1850). I don’t hit them but neither does anyone else including senior associates / partners. Anyways, my boss is using that as an excuse to not give me a raise - so any insight you could provide would be helpful!
