Hi everyone, very soon I will be negotiating my second equity + pay increase before our series B and would love help on how to go about it.

Long story short, I joined as a Growth Manager at 200K daily active users and we are currently at 2M. A large part of the current strategy we have was led and built by me and implemented all over the world.

My initial package was $115K + $85K equity at a $100M valuation (my first job)

What is a fair ask when I’m negotiating my second package?

Thank you
