I work in biotech. Recently I was laid off after almost six years with a company along with the majority of the clinical operations department. I quickly interviewed and was offered a position within a few weeks. After accepting (but prior to my start date) an opportunity was presented to potentially get in pre-IPO at another biotech startup. The title would be better and presumably the pay, but the risk (and reward with the IPO) would be greater. I feel terrible about potentially going back on my word with the company that offered me the initial job. Has anyone here ever done this? I have interviews with the founders next week.
