The company recently got $3M investment. I’m being offered $152k salary and 2% equity, vested over 4 years. Is this good?
My thinking is that 2% of $3M is about $60k, so I could treat that as an extra $15k per year. But if I look at the valuation based on that investment, it is probably worth 5x that, like an extra $75k per year. All in all it is over $200k compensation, which I’m grateful for, but it’s on par with a tech job at a big tech company. Are these reasonable assumptions, or am I missing something?
Aside from the money equation. Where will you have more autonomy, opportunity and growth personally and professionally. At a large establishes firm or a startup.
A large platform provides security, with comforts and a solid network. But a startup will make you 10x who you are. Pick which aligns with your future ambitions.
