Whats the equity stake and what round are they?

SC1 also doesn’t know what they are talking about. You should think about your options in terms of the company size. If your company grows 10x, so does your equity

Should mention its a customer success manager role

With your background, don’t you think you could do this at a large company with way better comp? Are you that passionate or confident in the startup?

This offer is too low bud, keep looking- any reason for switching now vs waiting for a better offer?
