I feel guilty for my coworkers who are left behind and will have to shoulder extra load for a while.
It is a tough decision if they'd give me more WFH time. Stay with comfortable or go with exciting? Tough call. This would be me 3rd job in 23 years :) This other company is a newish company, but it's run by a guy who's been creating companies and selling them for a quite a few years now. The reason I know about him and he knew about me is through a mutual friend who worked at another company he started and sold. This is his 4th company. It's been around for about 4 years now and it seems fairly stable. He's got some incredible talent around him too I wouldn't be top of the pyramid there.
