Had the exact same situation (weird) and I decided to stay. Was promised shares in the company (25%), flexible hours and other benefits. Got a shitty pay for 3 years. Never seen any shares or contract.
Saying that, you never know, it depends of the risk you're willing to take. High-risk = High-reward -
@kfalencik Ah man that’s shit. That’s exactly what I don’t want to happen 😂

Do you want to take lower pay and potentially worse conditions now in exchange for a chance of something better/more lucrative that the position may become or do you want a position that doesn't involve gambling with your future, better pay now, potentially better conditions now.
Just me but I'd rather take the new job. When a company starts to pull back on benefits it's concerning -
Now you have to ask yourself, do you belive in the potential for success enough to work your way through it? It might take a few years simply as budgets get made anually and it takes one to two years even with a good product for people to noticed you.
If so, go for it, but get your shares/remote working, etc. In a written form a.k.a. as a contract.
Otherwise jump ship.
Found myself in a career predicament.
I’m currently working at a tech startup and it really does have the potential to really take off.
But recently the CEO has taken compressed working and remote working off the table for the most part which at this stage in my life is quite important.
Today I was offered a position at a different company with 4/5 days a week with a 10% pay increase.
Now the time has come to make a decision and I really don’t know what to do because I’m pretty sure the worst thing for me to do is make the wrong choice and end up kicking myself in a years time.
Was wondering if any of y’all have had to make a similar choice in your career
