If they don’t want to pay $250k+ then the title shouldn’t be HOP. Don’t care if it’s a start-up or not. Don’t devalue the position.

You need to be getting profit sharing if you’re taking less. Something has to be given for you to lower the base salary.

I think 175k-250k makes sense. In Canada it might b lower as I know a lot of shops don't want to spend that much. It's an important role so I think anywhere between 175k on low end and 250k on high end is fair.
