Received a VP offer at a series C health tech startup ($2B+ valuation). Total comp is $300k all in (mix of base and bonus) + about 1000 stock options (unsure exactly of valuation). Current comp is $230K base + bonus of $50k. Worth it to make the jump for better balance (100% remote job) and an exit to the health tech scene? I’m about done with the consulting grind and this seems like a good opp, but don’t want to miss the boat on something else that could be out there. Thanks fam.

You have to get MUCH more clarity on the equity position. As a VP, you should have a good chunk of the company, even after the C round. 1000 stock options doesn't tell you anything without knowing the full cap table. What are the total shares outstanding? If there are 30 million shares, your 1000 is worth nothing. What type of preferred stock is there? What are the preferences of the preferred stock? Is there any convertible debt? What does the employee pool look like? (You'll need to recruit people - want to have sufficient options to entice the good ones). What's the vesting schedule? Is there a change-of-control clause to accelerate the vesting schedule? I hate when companies pull this crap... "we'll give you 1000 options" without giving a semblance of what that would be worth. With pre-IPO companies, the equity IS the upside. So max that out.

Congrats what co if you don’t mind

What's your YOE, and what's the geographical location

Sounds like a great opportunity! If you’re someone who likes 100% remote then go for it. I’m newly in a 100% remote-forever job and I learned that I hate it (and I also now know I’d still hate it even without a lockdown/pandemic).
The startup life hours can start to creep up on you, so be vigilant about blocking off your time if you want to protect WLB (for eg. in Google Calendar you can set your business working hours that will also show to others who view your calendar for availability, and you can also block off time say 6-8PM everyday so that people don’t book late meetings regularly if you want to keep your hours protected).
