To clarify, I meant $200k including the current value of the stock options that vest in a year.
I'm also writing with engineers in mind rather than executives, and based on Bay Area salaries.
- michaelochurch 14y agoI don't think that's a meaningful number. As I said, investors have plenty of reasons to value the equity at a higher level than an employee. If you "cliff out" an investor, you go to jail. If you do that to an employee, that's fair game.
