This was a few years back. I quit my R&D job at my peak and fell for the hype. I went to a startup. The company is full of average people who are brainwashed to think they are building some Mars rover or reusable rockets. I asked my manager to work on my initiative, his answer was why? Finish the work I assigned and go home.

Don't do it unless you want an adventure. You need to be aware that any adventures can go wrong the chances are 50:50 that your move would be successful. I jumped from well established cultured company to a start up by taking pay cut and demotion for an adventure. Here it is toxic and company not doing well. Everyday I am regretting my decision

did the same almost 3 years ago, to a remote offer. Saving 3x to the amount that what I would have saved if I stayed in that company., have 10x better work life balance. tbh, Better than what I expected when taking that paycut decision

I was satisfied with the job, but my personal life started to get affected. I had to quit. It might feel like you will enjoy it but it started to itch. Itch covered into a rash. Before it turned into gangrene, I left.

I realized I need to enjoy making money. And talks about being happy doing just the work doesn't work in real life.
