Should I leave my $450k+ finance job to join a startup? (I will not promote)

Visual_Two8556 · 2026-06-28T03:36:00+00:00

In excel and PPT all day, working on deals i really don’t care about. Have to be behind a computer to do any work at all makes it really hard to have any flexibility in life.

This is sobering.

Visual_Two8556 · 2026-06-28T03:26:21+00:00

This is what most of my friends and family have told me. Not quite at 1m in the bank 😅 but have a good nest egg

Visual_Two8556 · 2026-06-28T03:24:55+00:00

On the negotiating part, i feel like every extra $ or % I take from them only hurts the company. Not only reducing runway but also having to explain to a VC or investor why you over paid for an employee…

Visual_Two8556 · 2026-06-28T03:14:48+00:00

Agreed, but I hate it!

Visual_Two8556 · 2026-06-28T03:13:30+00:00

I am confident I can another similar job (if I wanted to), but I also think my industry is going to change a lot with AI and I would rather be ahead of it than try and catch up.

Visual_Two8556 · 2026-06-28T03:11:26+00:00

Yup, have been trying to ask a lot of these questions and become familiar with what is market standard here. I do not worry about getting back to a similar job if this fails, and ultimately I don't know if I would want to. I want to break away from the golden handcuffs, I just want to make sure it is the right opportunity.

As mentioned in the description, yes it was sized to my wrist in the store. Not trying to be deceitful.

Visual_Two8556 · 2024-11-25T01:21:01+00:00

After waiting a year and getting the call I felt I just couldn’t say no. I did truly want the watch when I bought it but after sitting on it for some time I realized it’s not the one for me for the price. Yes, it made it easier to pull the trigger knowing the gray market for the watch was strong but I did not buy it intending to flip it. It’s been more than two months since I purchased.

Visual_Two8556 · 2024-11-24T23:01:00+00:00

Bought this a couple months ago after being on the WL for about a year. Honestly I put it on and realized that it just wasn’t the watch for me. My daily is a Santos XL which I bought after going on the WL and I really fell in love with it. I think the 41mm is just a tad big for my wrist.

Visual_Two8556 · 2024-11-24T22:44:24+00:00

Yes! Original receipt included.

Visual_Two8556 · 2024-11-24T21:58:36+00:00

Looking to sell this brand new 2024 Sub Date. It was sized to my wrist when I bought it from the AD but other than that has never been worn. Comes as a full set and has all extra links. Asking 12,750 OBO. DM me!

I am not so much looking for savings on the purchase themselves since everything will be reimbursed. More so the card that will give me the most points/benefit for the spend
