Ask HN: Shoud I stay or should I go?

I'm working for an Internet start-up who promised land and titles when I initially joined.

Almost a year later, although I have taken the company from strength to strength, when it came to promotions, those with the right surname have seen rapid progression - even though their technical ability is hopeless to say the least!

There is still no sight of the venture capital money which they promised would come over three months ago.

I now have an opportunity to move to a profitable company closer to home - although it is a step backward in my career as I will go back to being a senior developer as opposed to the lead developer which I am now.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks
