How does this offer looks like? Worth to join this late stage startup?
Stay at your current job. 320k TC for 5 YoE is wonderful.
The company is asking you to bet big on them by taking that pay cut. That bet needs a near "founder" compensation. No go!
I missed seeing the current TC with years of experience and voted yes which i would change to no go to FANG.
may I ask the reason?
Your current TC is already better. And there is not enough financial upside worth the risk. Assuming you are good and work really hard for the next 5 to 10 years, those are your Prime years where you could make a lot more at FANG
The fact that there is such a large gap in the fmv and preferred price means there is still a great amount of risk. If you think the company is going to be successful, take the bet. If not, just stay. Like others have said you have a great TC for 5 yoe
The preferred price is $9.5 on Apri/2019, their year of growth is 80% which brings price up to 13.5
How is that calculated? Your strike price will be the fmv when the board grants your options, assuming these are ISOs. The preferred price is what investors are willing to pay to invest. Them saying that their revenue grew 80% YoY does not mean the current preferred is higher.
Which startup?
Could you DM me?
