Thanks for the advice. My company is a startup, about 25 employees.
All my colleagues think I do a great job. I've only been working there for half a year, and I'm waiting on my annual review to settle issues with my salary. The last thing is that I don't want to come off as arrogant or impatient. I'm pretty sure my supervisors / colleagues would give me a 5 on their review according to their occasional feedback.
As far as benefits go, I get medical, pharmacy, dental, and vision. No 401k, no profit / stock options (yet).
I do about 35 hours a week in the office (20 minute commute) and about another 10 hours a week at home.
The company, as far as I know, is making money. I'm likely to be employed for the next years, I hope my company will grow, but I can't be sure.
Great working conditions... You know what they say though, the grass is always greener on the other side.
Should I ask for stock options? Is it too early? I feel like a lot of the technology I've produced for this company, has made them hundreds of thousands of dollars. :/ I've developed entire systems for them by myself.
- sticknrudder 15y agoIf it's a startup, they probably don't want to pay you top dollar. The might just not have it. I wish startup management would be honest about the dollars in investment, And how much they themselves make. I also wish that everyone in a startup got a good size of the pie. On the good side, if the company grows, you might be in the right spot. Options will likely open up. And, having a successful project on your resume usually helps for the next job.
- SingAlong 15y agoI wish startup management would be honest about the dollars in investment, And how much they themselves make. I side with you on this. It also helps you gel with the team better knowing that they trust you so much that they share their numbers with you.
