Ask HN: What to do about startup job Currently working with a scale up with a very rocky future. Joined about 3 years back, always felt weird about this place. Multiple leaders have left, and to be honest I don't really see the value my team brings to the place anyway. At this point I'm only really here for the immigration sponsorship. Otherwise, I would have considered quitting without anything lined up to just take a break and figure out what's next. What would folks recommend I do here? |
Would it be possible for you to brush up your CV and seriously look for a new job? You might need to get creative with casting your 3 years experience into the most positive terms possible.
With the current state of funding and the economy in general, your company might not be around for much longer. It could end up like having your life-vest on and stepping into the lifeboat as the ship sinks.
But generally I would say life is too short to waste on a dead end job where you're not learning or adding value.
I'd prioritize finding something you're excited about before quitting. You may even be able to transition your immigration process.
Overall, if leadership is leaving often - especially at the C suite, its game over 90% of the time.
