Hypoth- how much severance time would you need to leave your job right now. You can't go back afterwards. 3 yrs for me.

Probably 8 months to a year.

Let's assume you have to take the time off. You can look for another job but not start until severance ends.

Wow 3 years! Are you an executive? For most rank and file white collar workers they are lucky to get 3-6 months

Haha it's a hypothetical. Pretend amount of severance time. But for CB sake let's say I'm an executive.

OK, gotcha. I would wish for that as well

That's crazy? They give you two years no questions asked now and you would turn it down? Even if my job was good

3 years? Can you do the same job somewhere else? Of course

I'm at a late stage startup, so a lot of it would hinge on equity vesting etc.
