Had to pick between a stable job offer and a risky startup role
The startup offered 15% less salary but a 1% equity stake. I took the startup job, and the company folded after 18 months. Anyone else faced a similar gamble between security and potential?

That kind of gamble is tough to weigh in the moment. My cousin put his own money into a friend's app idea that seemed like a sure thing. He lost about twenty grand when it just never caught on. Do you feel like you learned anything from the experience that was worth the cost?
