Rules:

  1. Be civil and nice.
  2. Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.

The con is that your startup could die tomorrow

Yep. It's high risk high reward.

If the markets are well regulated and competition is fair, you always have four options when you’re employed somewhere:

-be happy where you are

-be unhappy and whine about it on lemmy

-be unhappy where you are and join another unhappy people to fight for your rights

-be unhappy where you are, think you can do better than whoever is the company’s manager and make your own business

Correct and usually what's recommended is that people should switch jobs every couple of years for a 15-30% hike. Your existing company won't give it, but if you shift, there's a high chance you will get it every 2 years - until it plateaus.
