Well, you’re not founding team. Meaning you weren’t there very beginning. So you’re likely not going to get more than a percent of the company.
On top of that the company is already profitable and the job market is kind of tough. That means that they don’t need to spend equity to hire.
I think your best bet is to look at TAM and get an idea of a likely exit for the company and at what price. Tell ChatGPT about it to get this imagined scenario and timeline. Then at least try to understand what percentage of the company you’re getting when you get your equity offer. They do this by telling you the shares and outstanding shares. Ask what kind of stock you’re getting and if it will get diluted over time.
A good offer might be about a quarter of a percent. (At least at a B2B startup which I know more.) For B2C the user base and exit can get very big depending on TAM. So rules might be different.
Most companies won’t tell you how much stock they have in the pool. But the way you can counter this is essentially saying that you wanna take the company to be becoming $1 billion company or whatever. And that you want a meaningful amount of stock to go along with it. If you have any negotiating power and you’re really good, you may be able to get away with a good offer with high transparency.
