I don't know what that means. I have a fake job.

Is this the sort of field where these opportunities come up a lot? Are these sort of start up companies common? Does this new job have less stability than your current one?

What is the trade off, here?

Its a wide, wide field, my friend. The floor is sitting in a phone farm asking people to renew their phone service, and the ceiling is major mergers and acquisitions.

Yes, opportunities come up a lot. No, not at this level, or for this type of company. It will likely be bought out within the next two years, which would mean a whole lot of money, if I have options. It also might mean i get shit-canned, but I'd land on my feet.

The trade off is that I would leave a job that pays my bills and leaves a little for fun on the weekend, where I would be comfortable yet unfulfilled and would certainly be settling. I would take a job that more than doubles my salary, would get me out of debt on the very first paycheck (only a little left!) and would allow me to save for my first house, the ring if and when, etc.... Also, perks and benefits are insane.
