Help me choose!!

I recently received an offer from a small startup with fewer than 10 employees. They were founded just a year ago and are offering a competitive salary. However, the role requires working six days a week, which is a major concern. Currently, I work night shifts in US staffing, earning a decent salary with incentives. While this position provides financial benefits, the night shifts are detrimental to my health. I am also expecting an imminent increment in my current role. I am deeply uncertain about whether accepting the startup offer is the right decision.

Your health should be a priority, especially with night shifts affecting you. Do you think the startup's work schedule will be more manageable or worse for your health?🤔

IMO, It might be worth weighing the pros and cons health, career growth, financial benefits, and job satisfaction.

The six-day work week at the startup is definitely a concern. If the role offers better growth opportunities and work culture, it might be worth considering, but is it sustainable long-term?

Startups are very risky. You need to work a lot in startups and when there is no further funding you will be laid off. Don't fall into that trap. Better stick with your current company that will give you a good hike and focus on building skills and then get into an... see more
