How solid is the company? In other words, do you have a reasonable expectation of making the bonuses?

I ask because I tried exactly the same thing once. Cool new company, guys running it had been very successful before and were trying out a new consulting thing. Long drive to the office but I could work from home a few days a week. Sporadic work - go like hell a couple of weeks, not much for a couple of weeks.

Bottom line is we never got the big bonus. After a couple of months they had to stop paying salaries for a while. Then I moved on.

It wasnt a bad summer. I had a lot of free time. Little bit of money coming in. Some cool travel.

Probably not something you'd have enjoyed though, income-wise.
