Bonus: 25%
Equity: 50% split into stock and RSUs. The RSUs vest over 3 years.

Is this a good move?

Is this a humble brag?

50% equity would actually scare me, it could signal low funds long term. Bonus is always subject to company performance. Do you know their funding rounds? How much cash they have?

like

True.

Depends on the startup

Base may be a tad low depending on how they define a director role and the cost of living on the market. Is the bonus the max possible only if a top performer or an expected level?

like

How established is the startup?

Yes

Forgot to mention: it’s a publicly traded company “startup”. I’ll be working on the startup end building out a new business platform.

How much do you make now?

My current base is 185k with 40% bonus, and on partner track

Starting point for negotiations is to ask them to double everything,

I tried pushing for 240k base, but they seem to be firm.

How big is the startup right now?

If they have actual annual revenue (not from angel investors), then this isn’t a bad deal. I would maybe push for some type of sales incentive where if you hit certain targets, you get a salary increase and/or bonus. What market, NYC?

Run

It’s okay not great

Sanity check. Going to preface this by saying I'm not in a rush. I wanted to get some good consulting experience so joined EY out of UG.

I lack the resume experience.

Thinking to move within EY to an M&A focused group SaT or EYP. Do ~2 years and see if I still want that. Will that tick the box for most PE shops?
