I am thinking of exiting to an NY based startup because the work seems more enjoyable, I want to be local, and I miss the fast-paced environment.

What to expect in terms of salary/benefits? Cont.

Currently an underpaid soon to be C at Deloitte. But just curious what the average "jump to startup" experience is like financially?

For example:
Base salary
Bonus/stock
Healthcare costs

Any info from šŸ  who have done it would be helpful šŸ˜¬ just looking for a ballpark

I left a startup to join. Itā€™s one of the, ā€œhottest startupsā€ in ny. Junior people were grossly underpaid & benefits were garbage. People coming into more senior positions with big four/IB experience were looking at just north of 100k and a few stock options. Definitely think about the amount of money youā€™ll spend Monday-Thursday in NYC when evaluating.

I will say I wish I had gotten there after having the desired 2-3 years at a big four because a lot of mediocre employees were hired above those of us who were there from the early days.

Interested too!

Well that doesn't sound promising at all... lol what was the company size and how much of a cut from Big 4 was it benefits wise? I feel we are paid pretty poorly to begin with.

I believe in the philosophy of learning from other's experiences, success stories, mistakes and regrets while keeping in mind that similar set of life events may unfold into totally different ways/outcomes for others as there are always too many variables in the equation called LIFE.
