Need some timely offer advice. Currently at a Pre-IPO tech company (IPO in next 18 months extremely likely) & evaluating what it would take to jump to a seed-stage startup prior to offer negotiations.

Seed-stage, Chief of Staff:

This is for a BizOps role & they have a team of 20-30. What cash + equity % would make sense to switch over for?
