Leave stable job for something more aligned with values

I'm torn between a stable job and a role that aligns with my values. I'm considering leaving my job at a big company to join a nonprofit/startup that I'm passionate about, but it's riskier and pays less.

What I wish I knew
"More about the startup's growth potential and financial stability"
If I could tell you one thing
"Consider your long-term goals and what truly motivates you"
