Would be worth it if the pay cut was not huge and growth is huge

You never know what that growth is *actually* like. They’re trying to sell you the job too. FYI.

I wouldn’t take the paycut unless you hate your current job and need an exit asap - otherwise, just keep applying

Those three things seem out of alignment. Most opportunities that pitch a great future outcome + move fast + tons of learning will come with sufficient equity to offset the risk and lower upfront cash. They are correlated, not a pick 2 of 3 scenario

One of my queries is regarding the Medical Insurance. As per the offer letter it mentions "Mediclaim Scheme with Floater Option of Self + 3 or Self + 5 with/without parents. " : INR. 150,000/- to INR. 3,000,000/- 
Does this mean that without paying extra, the med insurance is just 1.5L?

How soon would be too soon to leave a first job? I’ve recently started my first job with a small firm and have enjoyed the people and the work. However, my pay is based on what I bill. At first this sounded fine, as my billing rate is very good and I take home a third of what I bill. But there has been so little work for me to actually do that I’m beginning to worry this isn’t financially feasible long term. Thoughts?

I was supportive of Lori when this virus first started but her actions since have dwindled my support of her. I don’t expect her to make every decision correct nor do we have to agree with all of them. I believe she should be correct around 75 percent of the time but I believe she is in the 50 percent range. I know everything doesn’t fall on her shoulder but things haven’t been great as of late. Hopefully they figure out something soon.
