I have short timers disease.
I admit it.
I have worked for my employer for the last 7+ years during times of good and recently, times of very bad. I am a sucker for startups and being employee number 12 or 13 I felt right at home here for a very long time. As it turns out...too long.
After two management changes and 200 employees later and going from Right hand man to Leper for my past associations (company politics), I stuck it out for my stock options. With the recent change in the market, my "options" are now less about stock and more about survival. I choose survival. A past associate put me in touch with a new startup in a related, yet different aspect of the industry. We had an unofficial phone chat, and both parties saw merit in a future association and an official deal was made and I am on my way to greener pastures (provided my luck holds!) So what do you do when you are wrapping up a career and way of life?
The sorid details to follow.....
