Ask HN: Equity for engineering hires
Folks, a question to gauge the market:
At an enterprise B2B startup with a little traction, what sort of equity would you expect the first five engineering hires to seek, and what would you expect them to get?
What would you be looking for if hired on as a senior engineer?
(for simplicities sake, pretend there's no dilution due to investors or other cleverness)

- angersock 13y agoHm, now that's interesting. I think their tagging system is a little off, but that is quite useful. Thanks!
- sharemywin 13y agoIt depends if you have a $1 million dollars in runway then you can just pay them. If you have no money to pay them and no traction you have nothing of value.
