I just started working for a start up that's about 3 years old and has gone through multiple rebrands and a lot of staff turnover. The boss talks a convincing game about how he's building the next great American lifestyle brand but he has no idea what he's doing and wastes a ton of money in the process. All the money the company has now came from investors, not sales, and he's currently planning a big flashy party to try to squeeze more out of them.
The signs are all there. Fast talker who doesn't have a clue how to run a business parts rich fools from their money, but for how long? I've seen this story too many times, the money will eventually run out, he will have stashed away enough for a fresh start somewhere else, and the rest of us will be fucked.
Do I get out now before I'm in too deep? Should I see how long this lasts while also continuing to apply for other jobs? Am I overreacting? I'm in my late 20s so I'm no expert but I've been around long enough to be able to smell when things just aren't right.
