I'm being headhunted for a dream corporate job with an insane salary. My startup is doing okay, but is it crazy to even consider going back?

Can you do both ?

Hi!

Firstly - well done on being headhunted for that dream job! Did you get a written offer from them?

How could you potentially combine both?

At the beginning of my business I used to do both my regular 9-5 and my startup until i finally decided to focus only on one.

I dont think its crazy! Especially if its your “dream corporate job”. I would get curious to explore how you can combine both worlds together.
It comes down to getting clear on your intentions, good organization, setting boundaries, discipline and asking for help when needed.

Exciting times! Wish you all the best :)

If you’d like to share more, feel free to message me/connect on LI. Happy to chat!

Its not crazy to consider going back. At the ened of the day you have to do what is best for you. If that means going back your old job then go for it.

I think it depends on your responsibilities and goals. Anyone can understand if u take the salary but how will you feel?
