My salary alone was better than Mailchimp comp. SF wages in Atlanta. Plus, we were already unicorn status and growing rapidly.

It would have been a solid choice.

That’s possible, and probably a better idea if you’re optimizing for comp.

But there’s a lot to be said for staying to work at a company you love and enjoy, especially if your compensation is already enough for a very comfortable life.

This may come as a shock to you, but for most people life is not just about money.
What a non sequitur
