In your case your pay increased 5 times too.

Who wouldn't want such a life.

FWIW, they mentioned their previous job’s pay was only 80k less, not absolute.

EDIT: Just read that you said "80k less", not 80k. Actually, that's okay for me. As long as the work is quite interesting, but I'm not making anywhere near 320k.

Yeah, less workload, better pay, what not to like? I guess I just need to get better now.

Will probably return to my startup after I leave my current gig
