At least 51% equity. Tell them you've got to have skin in the game and be able to make all the decisions!

Umm you’re gonna be the CEO but you can’t even figure out what comp to ask for?

Why would the founder of the company not want to be ceo?
What are you bringing to the table?
How replaceable are you?
What is current value proposition of the startup?
Do you see any value in the offering?

Above should help you.

I’d be cautious. Founders not involved, no team readily available to help, pressure from investors - sounds like you’re going to tank, unless you’ve done something like this before and turned a profit.

If you do go for it, be prepared to leave/get let go after about a year, definitely two

Agreed with TWE. Whatever they offer cash, if you can live with it, take it... then ask for 50% more equity than they offer

For such a big role I’d pay for a salary benchmark report.

Genuinely curious, what’s the difference between “greenfield” and “brownfield” in the startup world?

Did you take the role OP? Curious to know how it’s going

This post is an alert message for anyone joining the Johnson & Johnson EMEA account for SAP & had Rakesh Sharma for their Manager round.

He is nothing less than a con man & will promise you a lot to make you join the account. After that he will put you in testing projects. If you ask for a release, he will either not release you or release with a very bad rating and influence other project managers to not take you into their projects.

You will be left with no choice other than leaving TCS.
