This sounds like a bad job and you should find another.
At some point you were happy with $200k and 2%. Now you aren't. I don't think there's a bump that they could give you at this point that would make you want to tolerate the shit that's bad about the job.
Note that this is a bad job. Startups are more prone to creating bad jobs.
The math for employee #1 at a startup is almost never ideal if you're being completely rational about expected value. That is, I think, a separate problem than you're dealing with.
- zenlikethat 2y agoThe ideal reason to be engineer number one tbh is if you want a playground (for lack of a better way of putting it) to build the system out the way you want. That will be of high value to specific people (Architects, not the LinkedIn kind) and low value to most of the population who just sees a job as a means to an end. But for some people, direct access to an AWS account and license to build as they please is intoxicating.
