Depends on where the startup is

Don’t ask - let them make you an offer.

New York - where I am currently located

Are they offering equity + salary? If so, lots of factors to take into account. How much do you believe in the company, how much revenue are they doing, how big is series A round, what’s the vesting period for your shares, etc. Answers to those questions will help determine how much equity you should ask for in place of salary.

If equity is out of the question (usually wouldn’t be at Series A since there is risk on your end joining) and they can’t match your current salary, you could ask for a progressive increase in salary tied to sales / company performance each year.

Thanks this super helpful - I want to make sure I am taking all of the factors into account. Last time I joined a startup it was seed stage. It both worked out and didn’t - lessons learned!

No problem. Good luck and sounds like an exciting opportunity
