Is it worth sticking around for 2 more years to let your options vest when you know the most you will ever make is half a million to a million?
No, you probably won't make any money at all. Early stage employees get screwed the hardest. You either want to be a founder or a "key hire" after the company gets series A.
What would you do if you were this person?
I left, twice. Was it the right decision both times? Yes.
Is having a job alone good enough in this economy?
Well, that's a different story. Probably. It truly is a shitty job scene out there right now. I can't tell if you hate your job or you're just bummed about how the politics and finances have played out. It's probably worth locking in something else before you quit.
