Software Sales question: I just got a job offer to join a post-Series A with under 20 employees.
On the equity piece, I was offered .1% equity at a $142m valuation. This is a Senior / Director Sales role where I'll be blending IC duties + managing a team as we grow. I felt this offer was a bit low from the equity side. Anyone know how to evaluate this?

Whats the compensation?

Is it possible that you’d be able to get more stock in the company as it grows?

I have never gone to a startup with equity benefits but I imagine this is a bit low if you are going into a Senior role. Did they give you a range when you first started interviewing?

I agree, that's pretty low. I would negotiate.

Equity is typically negotiable. I'd ask for more, especially given the level you are joining.

Let us know how it goes

Negotiating a settlement. I’m at $10k, opposing counsel is at $20k. My client won’t go higher than $15k. OC has come down to 17.5k and says his client won’t budge from that. Do I offer 12.5k so we can hopefully meet in the middle at 15k? Is that how the settlement game is played? Seems dumb we can’t just say let’s meet in the middle now and be done with this. (I’m a first year, first time negotiating a settlement on my own and I don’t want to screw this up!)

Hey!
I have credit card with last billed amount of 1,25,000. But i just received my refund of 50,000 which will be adjusted in the next cycle.

But for this cycle, should i pay the entire 1,25,000 and let my CC go into -50,000 balance or i can pay the lower outstanding amount (75,000) only?

My goal is to avoid any interest or fees.
