Just from a cash perspective, this is a good offer, many people are struggling to get offers, and this is excellent for a fresher. 
  
 Not very sure about the growth opportunities and all. 
  
 But as you are in DevOps. Try not to get stuck in just one aspect of all the components that you will be exposed to. 
 I have seen people who have spent time only on the CICD portion, or only on the kubernetes portion. Don't limit yourself to just one technology. That will severely limit your growth. 
  
 See if you can explore the different cloud providers, kubernetes, jenkins, ansible, and don't forget to develop your thought process

Gameskraft Review

Gameskraft Review- Grapevine

Have an offer from a startup with ~20 LPA (fixed + bonuses). Also, going to get an offer from Gameskraft in the coming days. Any ideas on what is the compensation they offer to freshers?

The 2022 data was: 16 L(base) + 2 L(recurring bonus) + 15 L(ESOPs over 4 years).

Any suggestions on what to do? Thanks!

Welcome to Business Roles's Private Community

Hey everyone. 

Thought I could do an AMA. A bit about me - have 4 years of work experience and graduated from a non engineering college. Was at a startup before (from Series B to Series D) before becoming a VC

Personally look at consumer and B2B investments here 

Happy to answer any questions around life as a junior VC, startup ecosystem, career growth etc.

AMA: I work at a large VC Fund focusing on early stage investments

This is the biggest problem with VC ecosystem 4 yoe kids taking calls on experienced, hardworking founders. Dude first learn the game then invest , judge people playing the game. VCs know nothing about how to run startups. Unless they have been entrepreneurs themselves. IMO It's a colossal waste of talent to become a VC for young PPL.

Welcome to Salary Discussion's Private Community

Staff software engineer saas company with $200mn-+ARR. $1.2 bn valuation (undervalued but a good thing for me)

Cash component - 65lac (honestly I'm happy with it and not looking to get it improved) 


ESOPS - this is a bit tricky as I'm getting 6k units at $3.5 strike price (I feel the company should be valued at 2x it's current valuation and with $7 price of one share make 4 lac a year here when exercise)


My question How does the ESOPS compare with other comparable unicorn SaaS companies like postman, razorpay etc. ?

What is your CTC (Mega thread)

Product Marketing Manager

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?

Analyst

Work as the only SPM at a seed startup in SaaS. 
Salary is 45 lpa and 12 lakhs of ESOP over 4 years . 

Only PM reporting to the CEO and we have doubled revenue in the last 12 months I have been here and contributing . 

I think I got low balled on the ESOP , appraisal discussions are around the corner and I would like to increase the ESOP 

What is the an average number ? 
Have seen the product folks report and 30lps seems to be the right number .
Looking for other similar folks to advise

ESOP and Salary advise

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?

ESOPs

Hi Grapeviners, 

I have an exp of exactly 2 years and i received an offer from a startup for analyst (level 1) at a cash component of ~ 20L (includes 10 % variable)  and ESOP worth 3 L. My current company had an all fixed comp at 15 LPA ( fully remote) but the new company is WFO at Bangalore. 

I am also giving interviews for two other companies parallelly but my LWD of my current company was yesterday. Should I go ahead with this offer? Overall it looks decent but it's definitely not a financial improvement for me as the hike will offset the living expenses and the 30% tax bracket. 

Need your take on this guys. Should I wait more? The current offer I cannot hold for more than a week before it expires.

Offer review

Business Analyst

I work for a Series A start-up in Bangalore. I have 5 YOE and my current base is 21 LPA and ~5L worth of ESOPs a year.

Seeing Grapevine salary charts, I feel I might be underpaid. Should I negotiate or look for other opportunities or is the base I am getting now alright?

Am I being underpaid for SDE 2?

Is this a good offer or am I being lowballed?

Flipkart SDE2 offer for 50 LPA (split:40L cash; 6L Stock; 4L Bonus)

This is a 33% increase - total 2 yoe, including 1 yoe as APM. HR rolled out 23 + 1 (JB) to consider startup ESOPS, but changed back to 22LPA because did not get degree from premier tech institute. Thoughts?
