One of the companies that I interviewed with and was very close to accepting an offer from seems to have gone the way of the dodo. I’ve only been able to find one indirect reference to a forum posting detailing the fact that the company’s product was being shut down.
The reason that I didn’t go accept the offer was because I was worried about the amount of work I’d need to put in to getting what would be my part of the startup off the ground wasn’t worth the risk that the startup wouldn’t make it.
It’s nice to have one’s decisions validated.
