This is what I was thinking as we well. While helping to get a firm off the ground is one thing with ownership stake in said firm, being a hired man at 30% +/- of your marketable value is totally another. Agree with others as well if they are only willing to pay you a 1/3 then they had better be willing to be very flexible in allowing you to continue working for your self in your current gig....

Well, working for myself means I'm on my knees most of the time. Either dealing with clients or trying to convince a new one that I'll swallow.
That's the main reason I'm considering it - tired of constantly looking for new work. Would rather execute than constantly be selling.2011 1M Alpine white/black

From a guy who has historically placed far more importance on 'chasing the dream' than immediate compensation.... go for the option that pays more, unless you're completely miserable.Comment

there's an old saying that goes something like this
when you find a job you love, it's the last day you go to work.
is the new job on whatever career path you have for yourself?
do you have a career path mapped out?
If the longer term upside is big enough, giving up current compensation can make all kinds of sense. and most won't go for the long term potential, only for what the job pays today.

Have accepted in principle, but partly using it as leverage for an offer elsewhere.
Negotiating salary with both, as well as advancement progression and location. We'll see.2011 1M Alpine white/black
