Trying to do something more “entrepreneurial” ideally in the startup space. But got an interesting offer to join a new “fund” that already has $ and has been described as “start up”.

Look up the fund’s strategy for growth and also look into the backgrounds of the key players at the fund (C suite, partners, etc.). See if they strike you as the people who would actually survive, or if they’re likely to run it into the ground

**NEED ADVICE**

I've been working as a senior writer at
a manufacturing firm for the past 7
months. Got a management
opportunity, along with an 18K pay
bump. When I gave notice, my
company matched the salary and
offered me a title change. I then went
back and thanked the new company
for their time as I felt obligated to give
my current company a chance since
they vouched for me. Now, the
new place is offering me an additional
10K after I already told my current
employer I'd stay. Thoughts?
