Need help comparing the offer. Trying to prioritize money and lifestyle OFFER 1: strategy role 370k (including base, bonus and equity) + some sign on + 401k. Legacy company, not sure if I will prefer to stay for more than 2 years; OFFER 2: 230k (base + bonus) + 125k equity/year (targeted liquidity event in 4-5 years) + some sign-on. I like the role in offer 2 more and the the company is growing 30-40% but startup life ain’t easy. Is offer 2 a better option or would you consider it very risky?

2 sounds better but riskier

Option 2 sounds a lot riskier... It would depend on your risk appetite and how likely you think the liquidity event will occur.

Partners or whomever can help me understand about billing and hours. To keep things simple, let’s say you only have one staff to work 1,700 billable hours a year on a $60k salary and you have only one job that and the rate charged to the client is $300/hour and an projected hours budget of 1,700 hours. So ideally you would have revenue of $510k. If the staff takes less time partners make less money and if they take more time partners make more money while the staff keeps the same salary?

Hi! I’m a young professional with less than 2 years experience, started a new job 1.5 months ago. I’m having quite some difficulties on balancing out my response time to tasks. While I act incredibly fast if not immediately with some, I sometimes take 1-2 weeks with couple of hours worthy ones. Sometimes I ignore, procrastinate or simply other more urgent things come up to increase the delay. Also I work with 3 managers in my team which doesn’t help with expectations nor guidance. Any tips pls?
