Im a senior product designer who immigrated to Berlin in November of the last year, so as you can imagine not all my documents are ready.

These days I was invited by a headhunter to apply to a job that would pay me 30% more of what I earn today, which makes a huge difference given rent in Berlin and also that my current salary is below the average for my category in the city.

How safe would it be to change jobs meanwhile my blue card and residence permit bureaucracy isn’t over yet?

Thank you!

What do you mean by isn’t over yet?

Do it, the immigration authorities only care that you have a well paying job. Also it is common in Berlin that companies relocate immigrants to pay us below-average salaries until we find out our true market value and leave ;)

I just left my pre-seed startup that was running out of cash (we made $100,000 in revenue this year, and sunk $1m in costs). I was making $40,000 as a developer (plus 20k stock options at $1/share per year) and they refused to pay me any more money. I have 17,000 vested stock options, total number of shares at the time of my contract was 4million. I’m a bit confused about share dilution and if it’s worth it for me to buy some of my stock options… thanks in adv!

Need some advice,
A startup said they wanted me to work for them but I'd have to make my own job title, description, and then essentially ask them for what I want for my compensation package. I'm not from the EU so I'm unsure of what is fair to ask for. I'd be working in operations at a fintech startup, I have about , 7 years experience in projects and ops. Any advice for what I should be looking for wrt to base, shares, benefits, ect?
