Ask HN: Should I quit my current job at a startup?
Background:
I am an early employee of a startup. I have been with it for almost 2 years now. The startup doesn't seem to be doing good. I started looking for jobs and I got one at another startup, which seems to be doing very good. I am also being offered a very critical role in the new team.
I am very hopeful of this new startup and also excited about the work; however when I discussed this idea with my current co-founders, it did not go well. They say that I am their key employee and they would find it difficult to make things work properly if I leave.
I am not able to really make my mind. I am ready to do a proper handover and also help them find a replacement. But the concerns put on me by my current co-founders is emotionally draining me.
Have you ever been in such a situation?
Thank you for your help.
