What’s your startup comp?

Startup comp has a lot of ambiguity so trying to check actual offers to help make a decision. Stage/Role/Base/Bonus/Equity(% or worth)/YOE Mine: Series A, Director Eng, 160k, no bonus, 0.5%, YOE 10, Bay Area. Also: Employee 15

I was at a Series B in LA in sales making 115K on target with 2 YOE. At my series C we had sales reps making 150-175K with 3-8 YOE. For SF, as a manager of engineers you’re getting hosed. 0.5% equity is good but essentially worthless 90% of the time

Your taking it in the ass my brother, I get 150k, 10k bonus with 2% stock 3yoe. To be fair mine is a balls to the wall job not 9 to 5. Also it's privately funded no outside VC.

You are underpaid by a lot. You could double that at Google easily
