I got a verbal offer to join a pre seed startup as a Co-Founder.
There's a first beta version, and beta traction. I bring years of community outreach in the target market, online presence, design and operations experience.
I'm not sure about % shares, what would be a fair agreement? Considering I'd also take out a salary (low 6 fig)

Does anyone else have equity? 10-25% if not. If on the lower end, sign an agreement so your cofounder would be first to give up equity for the employee option pool

Is there only one other co-founder?

Where will the money be coming from to pay your salary? Are there any critical skills that are missing and can only be obtained from a third co-founder with substantial equity? Is the other co-founder engaged in this business full time?

Have others found it hard to transition from Audit to Financial Analyst? All the recruiters I’m meeting with are telling me I probably won’t get an interview since they’re looking for someone who’s ready to hit the ground running.
It’s discouraging because I’m a fast learner, and from talking to my friends who are Financial Analysts, it doesn’t seem like what we do is so dissimilar.

Anyone have slow months where you burn through a lot of your allotted pro bono/professional development hours to keep hitting minimum daily hours? The past few weeks have been like this for me. Should I be concerned (I.e., will this reflect poorly on me, come review time? Will I have dug myself too much of a hole if I keep burning my non-billable hours?) I’ve been asking partners if I can assist in any projects so I can fill my plate, but I’ve only gotten small (4-6 hour) tasks handed my way.

I have a business idea in the VR/AR space utilizing AI. However, I lack skill sets to evaluate viability or to create an MVP. Neither do I have a network to tap into.

My plan is taking classes to deepen my knowledge while joining and actively participating in communities to find collaborators.

Does this approach make sense or do you recommend other approaches? If it makes sense, do you have any recommendations for classes or communities?

Look forward to hearing your experiences and wisdom!
