Perhaps unpopular opinion, but I think unless you had original risk/skin in the game, you shouldn't have any shares - but should have fair market compensation salary wise. If you didn't put in sweat equity, or actual equity back when a return, or even the early survival of the company was not guaranteed - you are an employee, not an investor/founder - and should be compensated as such.
- giancarlostoro 4y agoI think an ESPP is a reasonable compromise, but not sure how that works when you're not in the public market, I've not worked for a startup. Want equity outside of what was offered when you were hired? Put your money where your mouth is if you believe this company will be worth something.
- itstomkent 4y agoAh - yes agreed. I'm into that.
