What value are you adding to the brand?

At this point you are probably your own department. Ask for 2-3 %

What level are you joining as? If director and above then somewhere around 0.5-1%. Other levels will be around 0.25-0.5%. This is my guess on what they will offer. You can of course ask for 1% but highly unlikely they will give that since majority of stocks would be owned by investors and founders and what is reserved for employees is less. 15-20 people getting 1% will just end the pool :)

If you started a company will you hand out 1% of company to first 20 employees? What point will you stop ?
