If I am accepting a lower salary, then my equity better start vesting right away. I'm getting compensated in salary+equity aren't I? Engineers really should think about this - by accepting a lower salary, they are investing the remaining salary into the company. That and all the overtime they'll be working.
- meric 11y agoYeah, definitely insist on a full salary. Structure the extra portion as a loan from the company that you only need to pay back if and when the options vest. That way if you're let go before the options vest, you worked a year with full salary and they aren't tempted to fire you before your options vest.
