Negotiating Startup Employee Salary and Equity
Joining a startup is fun and exciting but how do you figure out if the compensation package is right for you?
With the stir of Zynga forcing employees to give back stock options, stories of startup woe are being shared all over the internet.
Most startups want you to take a salary cut in exchange for equity in the company but how big of a cut should you take? Should you take any pay cut at all?
Join us at Gemvara on December 12th as we’ll be talking to industry veterans Jennifer Lum, angel investor and entrepreneur who worked with teams at Quattro Wireless through their acquisition by Apple, Dave Balter, CEO at BzzAgent which was recently acquired by Tesco’s dunnhumby for $60M, and Dave Cappillo, Partner at Goodwin Procter who has helped structure startups legally and financially.
They’re sure to drop knowledge about what your expectations should be when making the decision to join a startup.
