Instead of using the arrow keys most vi & him users navigate the cursor around the doc by using letter keys. I do it so subcociously now I am not sure which direction is the j when I use my phone.

I feel the same about coffee grinders.

First of all there is no such thing as "job security" in the modern capitalist system, so that should nor really be a factor in your decision.

Yes, shares or options are often used as additional compensation for non "C-level" staff by scrappy start-ups when they don't have the cash flow to pay market-rate salaries. Fewer than 1 in 10 of those start-ups will ever do well enough for that compensation to pay out. If you believe in the mission, you may find that risk worth it.

There are almost no companies anywhere that aren't shoving AI down everyone's throats. You cannot avoid that right now. Instead ask about their strategy and try to find companies that are more rational sounding. There are a few good uses cases for the tech if managed by thoughtful and intentional strategists. However most companies are approaching it like your current one, which is just slop.

Of you like the people. I say, take a chance. If it doesn't work out, try again. I spent over 10 years of my career hopping through startups before learning enough about myself and my goals and how the industry works to find the right fit.
