I would use Google and levels.fyi. I can always find good information on there. Best of luck to you negotiating.
15 YOE. VP level leading technical delivery and relationship management. Uniquely strong fit - deep technical expertise and experience selling into the same market at MBB. Bringing 2-3 equally good fit direct reports + strong commercial leads.
Current comp is $380k all in, all cash.
Hoping for a base of $200k+ equity grants to bring me close to all in.
Reasonable? Set me straight.
TC is hard in startups pending stage. For example, if you got 5% to join a seed stage company, that’d be an insane amount of equity. At $20M post and $150-200K base, that’s TC of 400-450K. What’s more realistic is 25-75 bps btw.
Later stage (Series C+), you can use TC and bake in the net profit of the stock options.
Without guidance on stage, it’ll be hard to say what to ask for. But loosely -
1) Seed. 25-100bps.
2) Series A ($100M valuation assumption). 5-20bps.
3) Series B ($500M assumption), 5-10 bps
4) Series C. Based on your TC and what you think is right
Have you used Carta's Total Comp tool to help you calculate salary? I'd look into that or I think Pave works well too. With the details you've provided I honestly think 200K + equity sounds reasonable, I would just make sure you know the value of that upfront.
$380k cash is really good. Equity is more or less worthless as most startups never make it that far.
