RokosCockatrice posted:talking comp readjustments for market rate and inflation with your current boss could also be good practice. your boss might be able to surprise you or, even better, teach you something about asking for raises you can use next time. I would like to go through this process, as the review I've had here before was relatively early and I didn't have leverage for a raise. My results from the last year have been remarkable, but I feel like I worked about 3 months too quick to hold it over them. I'm not sure how to broach the subject without saying "Give me a raise (+ increased equity) or I walk," which sounds overly hostile no matter how I try to phrase it. Depending on how quickly interviews elsewhere move, they could be done before review season starts at my current gig, which rules that option out entirely.

yeah unless the comp difference is really huge I wouldn't bother with 1099 but most of the companies I work for have approved vendor lists that prevent that anyway

raminasi posted:it almost definitely is. your old colleague told his co-founders that he knew he wanted you based on prior work experiences, they said ok, and now they just have to convince you to take the job. congrats on getting to this stage of your career. seems this is the case. thanks. now to figure out what early stage startup comp looks like in 2022 before my offer call in 22 minutes, i guess.

Not a Children posted:this is why it’s important (if you’re not a lifer, which nobody really is anymore) to regularly get interviews, secure offers and negotiate even if you have no intention of taking jobs the tricky bit here was specifically the stage of the company. depending on when things are signed, it sounds like i'm one of the first ~3 full time employees (outside founders) at a two month old company. also complicating this is that my current gig is a below market gig where the workload is basically nonexistent, but i get to feel like i'm contributing to society. i ended up asking for a salary that sat about halfway between my current "altruistic" salary and what i'd expect at series b, and for a bit more stock. actual salary i feel fine with and am confident i'll see a solid raise after the next funding round, but equity is really where i feel like i could have gotten more. outhole surfer fucked around with this message at 13:44 on Sep 10, 2022 |

I was shocked that when they said the patreon layoffs were only about 80 people. which means they have like 500 employees which is an impossibly reasonable number. no wonder they can't hack it into the unicorn big leagues

paying twilio to send text messages for you instead of doing it yourself raises your text message expenses from basically $0 to still basically $0 even with their 10x markup
