What type of role? Product, sales, finance, etc? Why are they bringing you on? Who else has equity so far? What have they given?

What level are you? I just joined as Director, Corp Development at a <10 person biotech and received 0.5% equity. For reference the CEO and two scientific cofounders received 6% each.

ahh gotcha - thanks M1. that sounds fun. Many hats/opportunities + high reward if you pull it off!

Asking for wife who's also in banking. If she got ~$100k in signing bonus in 2019 for 1 year commitment in CA and started FT in July 2020, assuming she leaves before July 2021, can her employer claw back full amount in California? Some say it's much tougher to do so under CA law but wonder if anyone has any insights. Banks won't likely care about analyst signing bonuses, but associate bonus at EB with diversity bonus can be significant. If she quits before, she won't be going to another bank.
