Ask HN:Should I continue working at a (failing?) startup?
I am an year old rails developer.Since I finished college an year ago,I have been working at a startup(Ruby on Rails Consultancy).Now I am thinking of a job change because of following reasons :
1)They pay me around 0.5x offered by other companies in the industry.
2)The technology side of company is weak.(Heck , I do not write tests and there is no one at company who does or can teach me.)
However ,the company says - "We will pay you better,and you are the one to bring in the standards and practices"
Should I stay at the company(and take the risk)? or look around for better Rails companies?
I am posting this here because,i think my feelings are much related to the (wrong ?) startup environment I am working in.The whole story happens in India btw.
