Interesting. The question for sure is to know what is a bad deal. It may be very personal and just depend on the position offered (+ you never know what others/founders are actually getting).

Yes, it's definitely not easy to live, all the more as you don't have all the insights and aren't sure to know/understand everything at stake.

Thanks for your answer. It's definitely complex as a situation, and never easy to know to what extent what you're being told is true -- hence, if you're really breaking the deal or not.

As I'm told by my company that me leaving would break the deal for everyone. That's not what I want, but it's also not a good deal for me (especially compared to other offers I get)

Sorry, changed that ;)

Even though it may break the deal for everyone else? In the meantime, you can't know if it will.
