Would this mean moving back to Michigan? Because a raise could go much further there, right? When I go to Minneapolis to our company's HQ, I am amazed at how much cheaper and nicer housing is there.
You all gonna be here when I wake up?

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

What is even happening?
It's be at most a 10k cut for Joe, but more than likely only a 5k cut. I'd get at least 5k more, but could talk her into 10k raise. The range she gave me could go up to a 15k raise for me.
Oh (you'd said it was a significant raise for Joe and a huge raise for you--goober). Is the cost of living lower to the extent that it would make up the difference?
Is this in MI, Aimee?

So, where would you end up moving to, Aimée? Also, what's the job security? Start-ups are a risky proposition.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
All are things I need to consider.
They have pretty good investors who want to put a lot of money into the paper and make it succeed. The cost of living is definitely lower and we might even -GASP! - be able to buy a house. Then again - having my MiL in the same area code? Eh.
THen again, having my own family in the same area code is a good thing.

Aimee, would you both be writing for the paper? Because you both could, that's for damn sure.

Not just that, she'd be your boss. Still, it sounds like a good deal.

Always one hell of a risk in joining a startup. And most of those risks are out of your control; your writing skill and Joe's are high, but that has little to do with the paper's ability to attract readers, or advertisers to sell them to. The majority of startups do fail.
Not saying not to do it; just have eyes wide open about the risks.

Nope - I'd be running the accounting end - until I finished my degree, which I told her. Joe ould be writing. He'd be an associate editor.
And thanks for the vote of confidence in my writing talents, Steph!! And Typo!
::warm and fuzzy now::
AND - she wouldn't be my boss! She was VERY quick to point that out. Well done her.
