Compensation for an entry level UX designer?

What's the expected comp for an entry level UX designer at a Series B start up? Does 100k base, 15000 shares with a strike of $0.66 sound reasonable?

This looks good for entry level. Try to negotiate an annual cash bonus based on performance. Maybe $3-$7k.

“X shares” needs to be translated to percent of company and valued based on the series b price. Those X shares could be 100% of the company or 0.000001%. In any case $100k for entry level designer sounds great. I have friends with 10 yrs exp at $100k, and there are many willing to work for free for the experience and foot in the door.

No way. Sr. Designers with 10 years of experience typically get at least $150, in the Bay Area that is.

Depends on the company. In tech, yes. Elsewhere its a no.

Without knowing location, that offer seems standard. Also depends on how many total shares issued (aka the percentage is what matters) but assuming standard Series B, 15,000 is also standard.
