[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He's earned the right to do what he thinks he wants to do[/quote] There's a big difference between "I talked to Larlo at the bar last night and he has this awesome idea for a startup! I want to quit my job and get in on the ground floor. I bet we'll make millions!" and "I had a few meetings with Larlo and his co-founders. They need someone for X position, and I think I'd be a good fit. It would be less salary than I make now, but they have 3 years of runway so there is time for growth. If it ends up crashing, I can go back to Y." Also, I think what is annoying a lot of people is that OP phrased it as "How can I nudge him into realizing that I am right?" OP, I hope you can reframe it in your head that you are not necessarily right and he is wrong. You have sound logic to support your opinion, but you need to hear what he has to say, too. And if he has a good argument, too, then you need to be willing to give him a chance.[/quote]
