Offer HN: I'll help you understand your startup offer

5 pointsby elricLabout 4 years ago
Hi HN,<p>I can help look at your job offer(s) and help you model and think about how much money your equity might be worth.<p>Background<p>----------<p>I have been working for startups for &gt; 10 years now in various engineering roles. I help my friends, especially ones who work in larger companies answer the question, `Is this offer good?`<p>I am constantly surprised by how extremely smart engineers just don&#x27;t understand startup equity and how to think about their offers.<p>I see engineers joining startups for extremely low value equity and also see engineers reject amazing startup offers and stay at FAANG because they value equity wrong(Recently, someone thought their equity is too low because, they just did number_of_shares*409A valuation)<p>I am doing this just to try and help people make better decisions. I am not looking for any payment etc. Just play it forward :)
