What series is your current company vs this potential company? What percentage of your equity has vested in the existing company? Has the existing job been giving you more equity over time, not just the initial? Is it trending towards a liquidity event? Is there room at your current company to grow? Why are you looking to leave your current company?

In addition to above comments from CPO1, what is your vesting schedule on the 800k and 40k?

Do the net math over the amount of years until vested. The difference in pay likely won't justify giving up that 800k. That's even assuming it doesn't grow further

Stay. Even if you only stay 2 years, you're way ahead.

Stay until you are fully vested.

You be insane to do otherwise

Going through a closeout. 50-50 profit share allocation, but my business partner has been using the venture money at their personal piggy bank (hence the breakup). My accountants say because we agreed to 50-50 shares, the leftover money has to be divided equally.

They spent $100k in the last month on random "work stuff" but bought a new car, etc. Now I have to pay for it with less equity return!
