I went through a similar situation. My case was finishing the product. I ran a decent consulting company while bootstrapping the product production.

I was going to look for a job and got a lot of interviews through angel list.

It came down to one for me. I got flew out to san francisco and had a nice time for the founders. In the meantime while waiting for some references to get back to me. I actually finished the product and started getting customers.

In the end, the founders came to the conclusion I wasn't looking for a job, but more mentorship and I launched the product instead. Regardless of what happens, networking is your best asset.

Great info, I could also do contract work to hold me over.
