What can you expect in a startup job offer?

4 points by rmalik 16y ago ↗ HN

Got a verbal offer recently from a nearby (SF) tech startup that is looking to make it's first hires outside of the founders. I know all startups are different but I was wondering what a decent offer (salary/equity) would be at this early stage venture.

Whatever it is, factor in benefits, delayed paychecks. 80% of scale would be fine I suppose. But hourly its going to suck no matter how you figure it.

Are you being hired as the CTO or the janitor? The "(salary/equity)" may be different.

are you an engineer? are you going to be a lead engineer? do you know what kind of funding they have? ie how much? i would say you should get at least 1-2% equity.

Expected to be a lead engineer. And they currently have $1 mil in angel funding
