  • "My main concern is that a lot of the factors I initially had for joining (financial upside, career growth trajectory, culture, etc.) are now up in the air" How so? The last I can see, but the others not so much. Commented Jan 15, 2020 at 23:28

    My understanding is that by joining a high-growth startup you put yourself in a position to ride that upwards trajectory and have that spill over into compensation, job responsibilities, etc. Clearly this large corporation can't grow at a similar exponential rate as the startup, so my impression (which may be wrong) is that this reason may not apply any more.

    It might not apply quite as much, but whatever the start up would have expanded into, it will probably still expand into, just as a division within the company rather than a separate company. While that expansion may be supported by moving people into that division from the rest of the company, being part of a rapidly expanding division in a company still tends to result in a lot of advancement opportunity.
