Hi folks, I wanted to know your opiion, I’m a graphic designer at a mid stage startup where i have been working for past 1.5 yrs and now i have got job offer to be in founding team for branding and marketing (which i have good experience in both) of a early stage startup which is already funded, product is good and so are founders. Should i do it?
If you like the current team/culture/growth prospects - its a difficult choice to make
Honestly, depends on the risk appetite you have. If you are okay with things being uncertain in the medium term - it can be super rewarding to work at an early stage startup which you find exciting
One word of advice - definitely talk to current employees, ex employees etc to get a good sense of how they are as people before making the switch (provided there is good enough runway)
All the best!
That’s really helpful, thank you so much

I recently worked at a startup and it was terrible.
To be honest, I still worked at one of the better ones but it just sucked.
Some of the clear downsides I see
