Def bet on yourself. 

One thought:  time and ownership.  If you are building the US for them, that is a huge market, regardless of industry.  You said it will increase their company by 50%.  That is crazy.  That will require work like you may have not done before, assuming they are already large, based on them being a global company and having officers in different countries.  This might require the kind of work where you sleep a lot less, get a lot less weekend, and make fewer soccer games.  If you are down, cool.  If you aren't, cool.  You should definitely find a way to get a measure of what that might look like/require and you should definitely weight that against $40k or and/or any % of ownership you can squeeze out of them.

Balance is really rough ridin' hard.  You are about to enter a family period of time where it might be the hardest.  My advice would be to keep balance in mind during this process unless you are the kind of workaholic that likes work being #1.  If you are, cool, no judgement, one of my besties is that guy.   Just don't go into something like that without evaluating workload and balance against a gig  you like and already have. 

This is a mental health PSA, here.

Update: I had a zoom call with the founder of the company today. What a crazy process this has been. 3 weeks of interviews. I guess I really appreciate them doing their due diligence. I'm going to laugh at myself if they don't offer after all of this. lol

Kind of a red flag if it's like a big company imo but also that might mean they just have a lot of room to improve with recruiting?

Yeah, they definitely have a lot of room to improve with their recruiting. I think they’ve grown faster than they thought they would right away and they need a lot of help with the fast growing expansion.

It's a shame that you always have to change jobs to get a bump like that.  Congrats!

Not to derail the wacky train, but I changed jobs recently after being at the last job for a decade. This job is less rewarding, less responsibility, a little bit more of a drive, extremely boring, but a significant bump in pay.

I leave the office every day and don’t think about work until I get back the next morning…it’s been a few months and been great for my mental health and stress level. I highly suggest it for us old guys who just want to relax and bank some money before our kids go to college.

MEH!  I left that job, it became too boring and I gained weight sitting on my ass too much.  Back to public education for this guy.   :gocho:

And guess what, Iverson, some of your rough ridin' teammates benefit from discussing something that you seem to take for granted.  A rising tide raises all boats, you ungrateful bastard.

I do both of these all the time. I also need people to stop copying me on irrelevant emails. (LMAO @ my drafts too)
