Is it common for a startup to grant stock options/equity in the quarter after the start date (4th month of employment)? Also should the offer letter include the current pre-ipo stock price and number of shares outstanding?

Typically they need to get board approval to issue the grant - likely the reason for the delay after start date. In my experience, that info wasn’t in the offer letter but I just asked.

Standard. Wouldn’t worry about the grant being later if it’s otherwise a good offer

Is there a cliff? Amount of time for the options to vest?

At my prev employer, there was a 1 year cliff and it would take 4 years for my options to fully vest, so immediate vs 4 mos later wouldn't seem to matter much...

Or is an IPO imminent?

My firm has a collections budget (80% of your billable rate x 1850 hours) and an hourly budget that must be met in order to be eligible for a bonus. The firm cares very little about originations and will reward someone for making their collections over someone who brings in new work. I missed my collection budget due to some odd timing with a client, but originated more than all my peers so no bonus for me. I’ve been at this same mid level firm for 9 years and it’s all I know. Is this normal??

Hi! Wanted to get thoughts from those who have exited to a startup from MBB/T2. Have an offer from a series C start up — would take ~$20k base cut but with bonus (annually) would make about 25k more TC plus RSUs. Much better WLB and great people. Is the base cut normal? Thoughts?

Very good benefits package.

They envision 2-3 years before I jump either to AD or right to D. Solid opp? Or hold out to go straight to director level?
