Hello, I will appreciate your advice on this matter. I have a choice between doing my former boss startup and/or looking for a new job. The issue with the startup: I hate the boss and some former employees he is bringing. If you check my history it’s the dude I’ve been asking since last year. I ended up working with him for the company that got shut down and he moved me onto another. He is incompetent, sometimes manic, rude, careless, egoistic etc etc. A lot is wrong in what he is doing. I don’t trust him and it gives me anxiety. As soon as the new project formed, we had a chat with the new team with a lot of brainstorming. He urged me to participate but I hated it and was on the fence. However, I need this or another job to maintain my visa in the future. While working for him I had no time and energy to search for a new job. I was happy the thing shut down and was happy to move on. However, this venture can be promising except he is a terrible leader. I had my doubts and made a few inquiries to iching over past week. However, now it feels even. More complicated because the answers are confusing. I had hopes that I can drop this startup and look for a new job, now I’m thinking maybe it’s ok to do something because I’m capable, otherwise another not so competent person is taking over and the boss is rewarding that. So I asked the following about a week ago when had serious doubts. “Advice on the startup for me” 6.1.4.5>41Somewhere in the forum I read that this means to reduce confrontation and conflict. I also interpreted it as to decrease my involvement. Later I asked “Potential for me in the startup” 8ucVery confused by this casting because I don’t like the people much at this stage, plus there is an addition that “who joins late - misfortune”. And I was not that active since the beginning vs other people (even though it’s been just a few days, I haven’t made up my mind) Today I asked “How my work at this startup now will affect me?” 43.1.4>48 This confused me as well, the 1 and 4 are negative, but 43 and 48 are positive?Seems like I won’t enjoy it but it will be ok eventually? Like “good for the resume”? Next I asked “Potential if i drop it and move on?” 23uc This very confused me, I was debating whether to listen to myself and just move on, as I wanted, from my boss long time ago, but this seems like it’s not a good option? “Advice on making my decision now? “1.3.6>58 This seems to say be active, creative, move forward but be realistic? “Potential if I just search for a better job now” 25.2.4.5.6>19 For this combination I haven’t found any discussion. (2) - “one doesn’t seek wealth” - after these experiences with my money hungry boss, I definitely look for purpose in my job vs the startup that is just for enrichment (4) just stay true to myself? (5) “Use no medicine in an illness incurred through no fault of your own. It will pass of itself.” I do have some mysterious physical pain that has not visible reasons to doctors but is quite debilitating at times…many say its psychological due to my job and immigration, so maybe that’s it(6) “Innocent action brings misfortune. Nothing furthers” so in the end the process will be unsuccessful? What does 19 then mean? “Approach has supreme success. Perseverance furthers. When the eighth month comes, there will be misfortune.” So what is the success with misfortune? 8th month, august, is exactly when Im supposed to start working also (when I get my permit renewed).So is plain job search better than staying at the startup with people I don’t respect…? I will be thankful for any inputs. It is very stressful as it is.

Oh yes, also I missed one casting, when i asked about the startup "Do I have what it takes to benefit from this startup" I got 28.4.5.>46 am I right that the whole thing with startup seems kinda muddy? Not really clear, some negatives but the trend is up?

You're right, the readings aren't very clear, but then again the situation is also a mixed bag.

Advice on the startup for me 6.1.4.5 > 41
No matter how much you'll try to avoid conflict with this guy, in the end you won't be able to avoid it, and it will hurt you / you'll lose out (41), or in any case you'll have to make-do with few possessions. 6.5 could also be showing a legal battle.

Potential for me in the startup 08 uc
8 is about staying put, staying locally where you are, with people you already know. So if by potential you're thinking that this startup might open other doors for you, I believe the answer is that it won't get you anywhere far.

How my work at this startup now will affect me? 43.1.4 > 48
Seems like I won’t enjoy it but it will be ok eventually?

43.1 shows a very wrong step (so you'll feel it was wrong, and/or that your boss is taking wrong steps). 43.4 shows being severely mistreated by someone. It will affect you badly I believe. Then again, 48 can show bank savings, so maybe that's the only good thing here.

Potential if i drop it and move on? 23 uc
You'll never be able to work for that obnoxious guy again. Which is probably a good thing. I do have a care about 23 though, as it shows 'not going anywhere'. I'm 50/50 on this.

Advice on making my decision now? 1.3.6 > 58
If you think about it too much you'll probably get a worse deal. People like him are as a rule very vengeful, so I'm guessing that if you don't wholeheartedly endorse his vision now, he'll make you pay for your indecision later.

Potential if I just search for a better job now 25.2.4.5.6 > 19
I found it a bit confusing that you write that you'll only start working there in August. So the decision is not that immediate? Anyway, my take on this reading:
You'll be very dynamic with it (25.2), divination will help you (25.4), and yet because of an illness or a heartache (25.5), it will not be to your advantage to act without pretence (25.6). 19 shows that something new does not lead to where you thought. The metaphor for 19 (in the 8th month misfortune) is an analogy to a pregnancy which doesn't make it till the 9th month.

Do I have what it takes to benefit from this startup? I got 28.4.5 > 46
It will be a heavy weight and difficult but you'll manage to bear it (28.4). It will be 'ok' (28.5 no blame no praise). You'll get over it eventually (46).

So all in all, as unpleasant as it sounds, I believe that sticking with your current company will be better for you than looking for something new right now. Perhaps the misfortune of the 8th month is that you'll somehow need to stick with this horrible boss for now. If these were my readings, I would take it month by month asking "what's the best for me to do this month regarding work".

Thank you diamanda!
I did drop it now and felt much better.

However, i'm stuck and not job searching now, planning a visit to my home country.
I meant I can only start in August - this is when my visa allows, meanwhile the old boss could pay me outside of it.

But my reading regarding going home were much better, and I'll keep exploring my options.
