Thanks for the comments so far. I should have said (but can't edit that anymore) that I'm also interested in what would be a reasonable percentage of equity to suggest at a meeting.
To expand a little:
- I'm dutch
- I don't have to move
- I have got a wife, kids and a mortgage
- I've got about 15 - 20 years of experience depending on how you look at it. Starting with: 68000 assembler, C, C++, Java, JavaScript, web front-end and back-end, Lisp and now iOS although I'm just getting up to speed with the latter. I've got Open Source projects on GitHub, a blog I post technical things to a couple of times per year. I'm pretty up-to-date on technical things: call me an average HN reader.
I might be giving away too much for a throwaway account now.
- accountoftheday 15y agodon't mention wife/kids/mortgage. it is a negative for startup employment because you are bound to be the first to bail (whether by risk aversion or necessity) should things ever get tough.
- throwaway1 15y agoYou have a good point except in my case they are already aware of it since I've already been working for them for two months (and they even knew before that time).
- herval 15y agoI actually see it the other way around: if you have wife/kids/bills to pay, you're probably the LAST to jump ship, as you actually NEED the money
