Is 2% equity vesting over 5 years enough to make up for ~$130k TC less than market comp?

This is for a CFO role and I have direct experience with everything from building the F&A function from scratch to leading teams within $250M enterprise, FP&A, M&A, treasury, tax, and audit.

2% of 1 million is 20k. 2% of a trillion is 20 billion.

Do you see the missing variable in your post?

What is the equity value? What is EBITDA / EBITDA margin? what is the sector?

25mm of EBITDA is worth a lot more in SaaS than Oil & Gas.

You are a potential CFO. You should be able to deduce that the important question is how much is the company worth and what is 2% of that. Then you can calc how that compares to the $130K cash that you’re giving up.

You don’t see the irony in a CFO asking a basic financial question like this?

Equity should be worth a lot more in the future. Unless you drive the company into the ground of course

Currently making 180 TC at a large bank and have an offer from a FAANG for 260 TC. Salary is not much different (165) but bonus/equity structure is decent. fully remote, dope company etc. I’ll be moving laterally in terms of title but I get the impression the scope/impact is larger and leveling is different in tech… no brainer?
