Yes. As someone that moved between B4 as a senior associate and now sees compensation as a partner.

It’s pretty much collusion... they try there best to pay u under 75 as much as possible.

Shouldn’t stop you from moving though. A couple years of a higher than peer group salary is nothing to sneeze at. B4 is B4.

Leaving when you’re a high performer*. If they weren’t, then they wouldn’t have been hired back at such a high salary.

Absolutely agree

Yes. But I’d still switch for a 30k-40k bump, especially at lower levels where thats a decent % of salary. Making an extra 30k for 2 years as a manager makes sense to me.

I just left my pre-seed startup that was running out of cash (we made $100,000 in revenue this year, and sunk $1m in costs). I was making $40,000 as a developer (plus 20k stock options at $1/share per year) and they refused to pay me any more money. I have 17,000 vested stock options, total number of shares at the time of my contract was 4million. I’m a bit confused about share dilution and if it’s worth it for me to buy some of my stock options… thanks in adv!
