Better than the 8k I got as a later hire in a startup. We actually got acquired, which is the biggest part of the battle. I took probably 20k less per year than I should have and ended up with enough equity to buy an early 2000's Honda Civic. You're not going to get rich as an employee.
- aantix 11y agoSame here. We were acquired and surprise! We got to keep our jobs and if we stuck we'd receive enough shares that basically amounted to $30K at market value. Acquisitions are rare events (given that 92% of the startups fold). And acquisition where employees actually make out enough to recoup their lost wages, even rarer. Employee beware.
