HR asked me more equity or more cash.

Why should I answer? Also asking this as I have other startup offers.

Also, Is flexport a good place to work?

  • Heard it was somewhat weaker on the engineering side, though that may have changed

      Calculate potential exit values based on market comps and confidence you think it would hit that in timeframe. Ie, 100M exit (90%) in 1 yr, 500M (50%), 1B, 10B (1%) but over 10 years. Calculate how much you’d stand to make in those scenarios. Maybe in the best scenario you’d make $1M but you’d have to wait for 10 years for liquidity. Compare the median outcome to what you’d earn at Google. If that is much higher than you’re making now and confidence in that outcome is high, it’s probably worth it

    • You can get some confidence in your estimates by looking at past valuations. In 2015 during our series A we were valued at $100M, 2016’s series B valued us at $300M, and last year we were valued at $910M at series C. Of course, remember the standard disclaimer about past performance and investments, etc.

      OP: speaking as someone who already has quite a bit of equity, I’d definitely take more of it over cash.
