Debating between two offers. 1) 155k, partnered with PE recently with the ability to accumulate equity and 15% bonus or 2) 180k, 20% bonus, and no equity. Both cultures, work life balance, benefits (eg WFH, health, etc) are more or less equal. My gut is telling me the lower salary, with the potential to earn some $$ in equity down the road, but I'm curious what others would do or what other questions I should ask.

How much equity do you actually get with the first offer?

Wealth is made through equity, not income, but you should know what you’re getting.

How long do you have to stay to vest? I got stock the first place I worked, but you had to stay 5 years to vest and I didn't. So you need to know when you get them, when you can sell them and is there a market. That company I joined out of college, still hasn't gone public.

Higher cash and invest it. Just copy politician stock trades, tech venture, and PayPal mafia, you meet the accredited investor threshold with the higher pay to get into private equity without restriction independent of firm. True work life balance is learning that 50% of your income is for today’s expenses and 50% for tomorrow. You don’t know if you’ll die today or live tomorrow. So live a little today while investing/saving for the future. I quit Executive consulting because I learned enough to make 100-200% yearly average returns and compounding.
