Do newly funded startups offer salaries which are comparable to market rate? The vast majority of people employed at startups that may benefit from options etc are not working at Skype/Facebook/Zynga/etc. When something happens in a high-profile startup-success it doesn't mean that's the norm. The practices alleged against Skype and their employee terminations reflect the nature of the companies in question which will always vary depending on the morality of the leadership. |

Stock options/salary for VP of engineering at series B startup? Further to @Filippo's point, keep an eye on percentage equity, but remember 5% of company A is going to be worse than 1% of company B if company B has a chance of a 10x bigger valuation... |

Does this equity buyback structure seem odd to you? are you paying for that 5% equity or is it in lieu of salary or something else? It might be defined elsewhere, but can the firm 'elect' to repurchase at any time - e.g. when net profit for the previous 12m is next to zero - they'll be able to take that equity back for very little money and you'll be out of pocket. |
