Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

Hi, I got an offer from a Series B startup and they are giving me 3000 shares of ESOPs vested over 4 years. Right now the value of each shares are worth $5 and has a potential to grow after new funding rounds this year. I feel 3000 shares is less and want to negotiate for more. 

In your experience can anyone tell me how much ESOPs (shares) have you received from new startups? And was it benefecial in the long run?

Any input is appreciated.

How much ESOPs should I ask from a Series B startup?

APM Fresher Salary

Product Manager

Welcome to Personal Finance's Private Community

Hi, I am an incoming Fresher @ SF. I wanted to know how do ESOPs work. Like in the overall CTC they include them (about 20L worth) but then they say it's vested over four years. Wouldn't the CTC then actually be a quarter of what they include? Like only 5L?

Also after the vesting period, do the companies stop giving ESOPs? Then does our CTC basically become Base salary + Bonuses?

ESOPs! How do they work?

Welcome to Business Roles's Private Community

I have total of 3.6 years of experience all as Data Engineer. 2.3 working at Sigmoid and 1.3 with Flipkart. I got promoted at both the organisation, means I am a high performing talent. I am getting 50L as a CTC from Flipkart, 21.5 is fixed, 2.15 is annual bonus and rest other are ESOP spreaded over 4 years. Flipkart is currently operating in hybrid model which means I had to shift to Bangalore this December.

In my new role at a startup which is acquired by Course Hero is offering 70l;
32l as fixed, 3.2l as annual bonus and rest other as RSUs spreaded over 4 years. It is work from anywhere.

Looking at the current market trend and my previous history, should I be little more greedy.

UX/UI Designer

Profile at cashfree: backend developer
CTC: 32 lpa
Base: 15 
Variable: 2
Esop: 15 (4 yr equally divided)

Profile at SRIB: Developer
CTC: 20
Base: 14
joining: 1
Retention: 5(4 yr equally divided)

Priority: WLB> learning> comp

although my inclination is little towards the research side, considering the hike 1 after yr it's like 10%(samsung) and 50%(Cashfree), if the market remains the same. 

Not able to figure out which to join 😟.... any suggestions?

Intern

I have a general question around MBA salaries. I see many colleges boasting about their placements and salaries. The salaries are >30LPA for most tier1 colleges.

Are the figures quoted by B-Schools base salary or Total Compensation inclusive of base, stock and other variable pay?

MBA Salary Components

Data Analyst

In the name of 'CTC Restructuring'; 15% of fixed pay is now (effective immediately) compensated in ESOPs - CTC is same, Fixed components are modified.

Tell me if this changes the negotiation game when looking out. 

If yes, how drastic/different will it be, if no, why not?

Welcome to Data Scientists's Private Community

What salary should i expect, with 9 YOE overall, 7 YOE in analytics, as well as potential companies to apply. Not looking to work in startups.

Work broadly includes business intelligence, with some exposure to modelling.

Current CTC 30.

As a software engineer with 1.5yrs of experience, how much ESOPs shall I ask from a Seed funded startup. I am here since initial days of company.

Is it a certain percentage of valuation? What's the market standard?

Right amount of ESOPs

I am being offered 30% of CTC component as ESOPs (1 crore liquid pay + 30 lakh ESOPs). It's a Series B consumer tech brand. 

Are ESOPs still a thing? What should I do?

Product Marketing Manager

I’m currently interviewing with cars 24 and expecting an offer from them by this week

The rough numbers given to me are 
base: mid 40s and 10% variable bonus (overall comes around near 50LPA)
(There is no other component apart from these)

I need help with the following:

1. HR told me they don’t give ESOPs etc. I just wanted to confirm if I should negotiate on this because on Leetcode I’m seeing they offered joining bonus as well as ESOPs.
2. If anyone can give me details around any recent offer from them and the components they got in the offer, it would really help


My recent TC: 36L Base
25L esops per year
Total workEx: 4 yrs
Education: Tier 1 CSE

So this is like taking a pay cut in terms of overall TC 

(Catch is I was laid off and I need this offer for the worst case scenario)

Do you guys include ESOP in your CTC
