You are absolutely correct, I need to talk with the other senior folks and this question here was my way of hearing some thoughts before going through that process.
> Do you feel connected to the overall vision of the company?
If I answer honestly, then no, not really. I think it's an interesting idea that will end up making a lot of money but no, the central 'theme' of the business doesn't touch any interests or passions of mine. The role came about via my network and I was much more interested in moving into the role of CTO than the product. Writing that out like this makes me realize that was a big mistake.
