Have a call tomorrow to discuss an offer for IP director of a series c startup. I was told early on by HR that the comp was 180 base + bonus and equity. Can anyone provide insight on what type of bonus and equity I should expect? I believe bonus should be provided as a target % of base, but I’m not well versed in equity. The company is a Bay Area ag tech company but my position is fully remote. I have 6.5 YOE (but 5 of those years were as a patent agent).

I feel very strongly that you should have a direct line to the Bd bc if you are the only lawyer, there can be ethical issues where you must sidestep mgmt. Ask me how I know.

I would guess salary between 180-240, bonus 10-20% of base, and equity should be somewhere between 60k and 250K of options/RSUs in today's money.

DM me your email and I'll send the Tech GC-X in house survey.

Lawyer Whisperer has some blog entries on this and advice. GL.

And thus salary is high but you're IP so you're in demand 😉

To add: this is a director level role and I’m reporting to a c-level exec. I would be the only lawyer in the company

Additional Posts in In-House Counsel

I’m in-house at a small company (60 people), started right out of law school about 5 years ago. We had a legal team of 5 then. Everyone has left and we just hired a new GC. I went from $70k to $100k a little over a year ago. I am expecting an offer from a firm doing business law work but think this might be an opportunity to go to my current employer and ask for a significant raise, with new offer in hand. Any thoughts or advice going into this?

They also indicate the preferred stock price is $6 and preferred stock equity is $188k (whatever that means). They are in the middle of a new financing and valuation round.
