      I can say the following right now. My biological brother is trying to transition from working for his current employer to going out on his own. He has, roughly, 25 years of experience in this field that he wants me to be the CTO. If I agree, then I could be making 6 figures (or more) for the rest of my life.

        That’s exciting! I remember when I got my first real software development job and tripled my salary.

        My advice is that you may be surprised to learn that you still need to budget. Even a hefty six figure salary can easily be spent if you’re not careful.

        Not knowing the specifics, it sounds like a great opportunity. I hope you find the decision easy to make and that you feel right in the choice you make, whatever it is.
