Hi everyone, very soon I will be negotiating my second equity + pay increase before our series B and would love help on how to go about it.

Long story short, I joined as a Growth Manager at 200K daily active users and we are currently at 2M. A large part of the current strategy we have was led and built by me and implemented all over the world.

My initial package was $115K + $85K equity at a $100M valuation (my first job)

What is a fair ask when I’m negotiating my second package?

Thank you

Agree that YOE is irrelevant, at least at your current company. It’s about what value you’ve created. Ask for a lot, sounds like you deserve it. If they give you something lower that’s ok but no sense leaving money on the table

Question - what's your equity worth now? Hopefully 10x given your user base change

I think you should do the math on what equity should be worth if not diluted then ask for the max you can on equity but the rest in cash. I’m sure that number will be way too high, but you should at least calculate it to have as a negotiation figure. Say “well by one way of thinking, I should actually be getting X in equity if not diluted. Getting that in cash would equal Y. I realize that’s not 1:1 and a lot to ask for but I do think Z is a fair amount to ask for. It’s also in line with what other fintechs are offering me for my experience, etc”

Hi Folks,

I've got a job offer from a small IT company. But before releasing the offer letter, they want me to accept a terms and conditions form which has this 10th point as shown in picture. It states failing to join them will result in paying 2 months of salary that's around 130000 rs.

Is it for real? If I get a better offer somewhere else ane don't join them, will I really have to pay this to them? Please help friends. What should I do?

Got a 30% salary bump, via an offer for Senior Consultant S&O from Deloitte. Currently underpaid at EY Advisory. I'm MBA and this year is my promotion year at EY for Manager. What to do? Get demoted and move to D? Or counter at EY? Even if EY matches my salary, and promote me to Manager, I will be an EY Manager with a Deloitte SC salary, and probably won't be able to go to D in the future. What do you think? I have built up a good relationship with my Partner and SMs at EY though.
