What are the thoughts on accepting one offer, then bailing before the start date if a better offer comes in?

I took a position at a lesser firm, since I didn't want the offer to disappear, and my current employer is a sinking ship.

I was told by the recruiter I'd hear back at COB yesterday. I have unfortunately not heard anything yet.

On another note, for anyone at FTI, how long was it between your final interview and your offer?

Looking to get into SaaS sales but my experience is in construction and fine furniture (I was a sales manager and was able to lead my team of 4 people to consistently hit 450k monthly targets).

I have also considered a sales analyst role considering that I am moderately versed in Salesforce and have worked both the customer facing and sales generating side. TIA!

I just left my pre-seed startup that was running out of cash (we made $100,000 in revenue this year, and sunk $1m in costs). I was making $40,000 as a developer (plus 20k stock options at $1/share per year) and they refused to pay me any more money. I have 17,000 vested stock options, total number of shares at the time of my contract was 4million. I’m a bit confused about share dilution and if it’s worth it for me to buy some of my stock options… thanks in adv!
