In final stages of Director, Strat Initiatives role for a MF-owned portco. Goal for portco is to IPO in 18 months. They want to give me post-IPO equity as part of comp package.

Since I’m driving value pre-IPO, should I ask for pre-IPO equity?

It matters more the vesting schedule and how they’re doing the conversion from pre to post IPO equity. Ultimately all private stock has to be converted through some calculation into the public stock, so they’re really the same thing

Also, congrats on the offer. Sounds like a really cool role

What does post-IPO equity mean? As Mck2 they should be the same thing unless you’re vesting a different share class

That’s a good question. I’ll get clarity on Monday. Been discussing comp w an inexperienced recruiter

Sounds like a super cool role! Congrats!

Gratz! What’s the offer like?

I found a company I was really excited about working at. I applied for the job and went through 5 rounds of interviews. At the end they said I was OVER qualified and they want me for a different position higher up in the company. I was super excited they then had me go through 5 more rounds, 3/5 people were the same. The interviews mostly went "didn't you get the job, I highly recommend you? I'll just put you down as a 10". After those were done they told me I was UNDER qualified. Can't win!
