Do it on google docs, and include how much money your company has raised (0-5m, 5-15m, 15m+ is probably sufficient options) and roughly how much equity you have

Do it on google docs, and include how much money your company has raised (0-5m, 5-15m, 15m+ is probably sufficient options) and roughly how much equity you have. In a vacuum, this number is meaningless. Comparing what someone makes at Google and what someone makes at a seed funded startup is silly.

- orangethirty 13y agoNeither. Just inside a bubble.
- alex_doom 13y agoAt least there's free soda. For now...
- graue 13y agoBut since most startups fail, won't the equity be worth little to nothing in the median case? Kind of like playing the lottery.
- ctide 13y agoThe equity isn't nearly as relevant as how much money the company is raised. It should be no shock to anyone that a job at Google / Facebook / etc. is going to pay significantly more than the equivalent job at a company with a year of runway.
- zerr 13y agoDoesn't stock affect the money you get from investments? Be it seed or later series.
