I have an offer from a company which is not headquartered in California but my offer is in California. They are requesting documentation around my current equity at my company. They want documentation with my name on it showing all details. Is this even legal?
Hi all, I’m starting to slowly scan the market and, for my next gig, would like to join a company with significant equity upside. While companies like Stripe, Snowflake, etc. are interesting, the vast majority of upside has already been captured, and I’m specifically looking for a big financial payo...Read more
Any risk to watch out when moving to a private equity owned company? Thanks TC: 230k
I'm near end stage interview with a private equity owned company. Its a small company only 200 people. The role I'm interviewing for is vital to the success of the sales team and financial planning. The salary isn't even that great it's decent, but there are no bonuses or long term incentive. I'...Read more
Does your compensation package include equity or stock when you are receuited by any pharma/life science/healthcare/biotech/medical device company? If you do, which level are you? As far as I know, some senior level will receive equity in some pharma, while other won’t provide unless you are directo...Read more
Planning to join series A startup as senior software engineer. Was researching about equity for 100-200M valuation companies. For SSE, some people got between 1-2% where as others got 0.01-0.05%. What could be reason for that vast difference when valuation is still between 100-200M. #equity #startu...Read more
Have an offer including equity but it's hard to judge its value and whether I should counter because of it being a private company with theoretical value. I have benchmarks for valuation but it's still murky. Does dilution still apply as a concern if it's RSUs? Any advice? Salary portion meets my n...Read more
For all tech workers who get heavily paid in equity, what did your company do, to offset the stock price slides? Just trying to collect information here. So please no judgements 🙏 TC: 550k(not at doordash)
I recently changed careers and joined a series C startup at an entry level position. The base was decent, but no bonus or equity. Their HR team is very new, and they're hiring a benefits person to figure out their total reward program. Is there a chance that I could get equity once they figure it o...Read more
Recruiter says there is an equity package that I can negotiate 6 months after starting. This is a VP role. It’s a private company so obviously stock isn’t in play. Do they give a percentage of profit or what
Is salary + 1% equity a good offer from a bootstrapped startup? That's the offer once I start full time, which would be when the product is launched. Currently I'm with them part time. I'm the 4th member, and the other 3 are founders/c-levels. Those 3 have the equity split between them currently. T...Read more
There are a lot of companies that were in a bubble in 2021 that have now crashed 50% or more. How are they planning to retain employees that are sitting on devalued grants? Imagine you joined Meta in the summer and people joining six months after you will have almost twice as much equity as you. I...Read more
In my offer letter and outlined in the company stock plan I should have received some options a couple months ago. Well I haven’t received them and each time I’ve asked about it I’ve gotten a run-around from management being ignorant on how to use the system to grant me access to it. The company (...Read more
ive heard that lyft may be revaluing the equity offers fir new hires. if they were offered 200k over 4 years it is now only worth 100k so they are making up most of the difference with a new equity grant. are any other companies doing this? #tech #comp TC 320k
Hola I hope to have offers from 2 types of companies: 1. large publicly traded companies (5Bn-200Bn) 2. large pre-ipo companies (2Bn-12Bn valuation last round) Say they're both offering same base but different equity - how does one compare? #2 could be paper money so I think they should give more ...Read more
When getting offers from start ups or private companies, how do you negotiate the equity since actual stock price can be different if it was public. Do you negotiate overall amount and/or price per share? Can price per share be negotiated?
See title. Per 409a RSUs have some value but ISOs have $0 value as strike price must be at least as high. Some ppl put annual options x strike price as annual equity value but that doesn't make sense at all and there's ton of difference between 1k@$10 and 10k@$1. #stripe #airbnb #databricks #instac...Read more
Received a job offer from a healthcare tech company who had a successful series D funding round a year ago. Recruiter told me that new hire jobs under the director level don’t receive stock options anymore. This is a role responsible for a PMing a completely new product for the entire customer base...Read more
I’m planning to leave the current company. I have accumulated quite a lot equity (stock options) over the years. Company is doing ok but not sure about its future. Has anyone tried selling their pre-IPO options on investment platforms ? How does it work ? Any pros or cons ? TC: 180 YOE : 11
I fully understand how the RSU work at a public company, but how equity and more specifically the stock options work at a private one (pre IPO) is completely unclear to me. Do you have to wait for the company to go public to exercise the stock (so you wait for the exit)? Can you exercise your stock ...Read more
