<human>: I'm a Sr. Software Engineer.  I have worked at my current silicon valley startup for ~4.5 years and am fairly critical.   About six months ago we got a new VP of engineering who has run us into the ground.   Basically at every point he has made the decisions which would most hurt the engineers.

As a result we have lost many good people and I honestly cannot stomach working here any longer.  The way people are treated etc etc.

My problem is that I am heavily invested, emotionally and financially to the company.  Honestly without tooting my own horn, I have doubts of the success if I were to leave due to how many others are gone.   The CEO is great and I feel loyalty to him and the company.

I have a job offer for about 40% more compensation at a very promising company.  The logical part of my brain says "Duh, fuck this shit, go."   But I'm a pretty dedicated an loyal person and I'm having trouble making the move.  There is no logic to it.  Only emotion, fear, loyalty etc.  

Help me reddit.  Help me walk away from 4.5 years of my life invested in something.   The largest non-executive share of the company etc.  I logically know I need to go for my own sanity and my family but... ug. its hard. Help.

Can you provide a brief overview of the text?
<bot>: I hate my job.  I'm very emotionally and finantially invested in it.  Why is it so hard to leave for an exciting job with a 40% pay increase?  I'm insane.
