Leadership is about getting your team to produce the best results they can. You are best able to do this when you empathize with them and understand who they are and what motivates them. Plus, people want to work harder for bosses who they like and respect than those that simply demand they kill themselves over a job

Hi, I have been working in a neo-bank scale up for the past year. I’m getting paid relatively well with stock options that vest over 4 years. There are also talks internally about the company potentially IPO-ing in the next 1-2 years.

I just got an offer from a smaller startup who are giving me a 20% increase over what I’m currently getting, but they are unlikely to be publicly listed anytime soon.

Should I take the offer and potentially lose out on vesting £50k+ (pre-stocks) worth of options?
