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

If they just immediately vest all my options and give me 2 years severance, I'd consider taking it. If there was an option to get a ton more equity by NOT taking it, I'd double down and stay.

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.

Can I look for a new job immediately after my severance starts?

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
