Super dependent on company. You’re only worth as much as they pay you because titles don’t mean shit at small companies. I wouldn’t do less than 150.

I would echo the fact that it 100% depends on the company and that there are many factors to take into account. You’ll likely get equity - and that will be one of the biggest driver of your comp... So: (1) do you believe in the business (most series A company will die in the next months / years), (2) do you have a decent cash component, (3) is it a very strong (and kind) team and is there a decent addressable market? You need to ask yourself all those questions because it can be on of the best experiences of your life - or maybe the worst.

Appreciate the feedback

For anyone who receives a quarterly bonus or raise in some form, does your employer start to schedule you for less hours when your raise kicks in, or pull you from a future schedule entirely once you receive a bonus; only to put you back on once the hours you would have worked and earned the amount given are passed? Ie; a part time employee getting $200.00 in a quarterly bonus and then not being scheduled a whole week during a bi-weekly pay period where they would have earned more on the clock…?

Or should I move into the JS-React path since there seems to be a lot of demand? But my worry is about my lack of actual work experience
