What?

I expect that my base salary will be lower working for a startup (made up for by equity) What can I expect?

How much was seed round? How many employees? It’s not unheard of for a non-tech executive to make $30k-$50k and get 0.5%-2% equity (as a non founder), which is highly variable.

Definitely not. You’d be well below. Most important employees are the CEO and the developers. Also, once they hit about 50 employees or so, don’t expect equity grants either. At that stage, it’s typically 0.5% to a developer while non-tech gets the right to purchase shares after the first year (typically). Startup capital deployment is the ultimate in supply vs demand and risk/reward

Which one should I go for?

1. Oracle - 18.3 LPA fixed + probable bonus (I may or may not get)
2. Amadeus - 18 fixed + 1.5 variable.

Amadeus is also giving joining bonus of 75k. Amadeus is paying more, may give better hikes too, but I am finding it hard to let go off Oracle's brand name on my resume even if it's means around 2L less over an year. I am planning to work for atleast 3 years in my next company.

What would you have done in my place? Should I go for Oracle or Amadeus?

Need help thinking through this…Debating leaving to a tech startup. Very early stage ($3-7M ARR), would have a big role leading strategy and Ops. It’s a cash paycut, which is a bummer but the equity would be pretty good. Just nervous about leaving before hitting the full manager role and taking a paycut in this market to bank on equity. For those of you have left, what kind of questions did you ask yourself to know it was the right time?
