Any thoughts on scenario: Current offer seed startup 180k /250 TC. Currently late stage startup 120k / 155 TC with 200k RSU 75% vested.

New startup is same line of work just assuming larger title and role

Pretty sure this just comes down to how much you believe the late stage startup will have a successful liquidity event. Hell even if that startup loses half its value you would still come out ahead of the seed startup. If you don’t need the cash now, I would go with option 2. But I am also a gambling man, so 🤷🏼‍♂️

Yeah my conundrum is prolly has already lost half due to 2021-22 bloat of tech. And I foresee either 2-3 more years to either ipo/acquisition. New salary in 2 years I could have saved as much as that ipo event.

To your point do I just wait and gamble ipo happens sooner or take higher paycheck and do the old fashion saving route

Hello! Looking at an opportunity with established startup in UK that's just been acquired by a large co. I'm US based and my salary is around $250k (NYC) -I've been asked my expectation without the startup giving me a range to work from (though I've asked). I'm not sure how to reply to them because I have a feeling that my requirement may be out of their range and while I don't want to undercut my value, I also don't want to be cut out of the process because it's an interesting co. Any advice?
