Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

I’ve been out of this game for a while so pardon my ignorance. What are you folks asking for as stock compensation these days?

My understanding is that if you’re being paid ₹100 as base pay, a ₹10-20 variable and ₹100 as ESOPs that vest over 4-5 years in equal parts is fair game. And you should continue to get at least ₹100 fresh grants each year if you’re a high performer. 

How did it go for your negotiation? 

And how did you ensure you actually get value for ESOPS? 

Most startup ESOPs are 100% bullshit and you may not get a rupee even after a decade of working.

How should you negotiate stock compensation ?

Welcome to Personal Finance's Private Community

How much ESOPs can I ask from an early stage startup (incubated). Valuation is around 12 cr. 
I have agreed to take a 50% paycut on my fixed, but not sure about ESOPs. Please advice.

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

Welcome to Business Roles's Private Community

What is a reasonable ask while negotiating with startups?

Should I ask for a match or hike of X% over my TC/annum (52lk Base + 8lk Bonus + Rs30lk RSUs), or should I negotiate only over the Cash (Base + Bonus) component?

A startup I’m negotiating with is not considering the RSUs I have and is offering a 8% hike only on the cash component, and is throwing in ESOPs (paper money) instead.

What do I do?

What to ask for salary at a fintech stock broking startup?

I am looking for a switch to a startup from a Product Based company. My salary breakup was following - 
Base - 19.5 L
Bonus - 1L
RSU- 2.5 L per yr
SignOn- 1.5L 

In the startup, I asked for a 30% hike on my base. I assumed they will take care of the rest. But to my surprise, they have no such thing as ESOPs, Bonus etc. Then, what should be my fair ask in this case? As of now they are giving me 30% on my Base and that's it. (Fixed  ) . What do I do?

Best Salary Breakup while switching

Software Engineer

I have more than 3.5+ years of experience, in growth and marketing. The role is Growth and marketing manager.

Do publicly listed Indian companies offer stock/RSU for new employees. If so, how much should the ratio of stocks to the salary be?

Marketing Manager

I have an offer from a firm where they have mentioned that their current apm has a payscale of 8-9.

Isn't that a bit too low?

I saw a report by the product folks group where they collected 550 data points & found the avg salary to be around 16. Now, that is pretty high & im not sure whether they've collected the data from only big tech startups.

My previous was 11(10+1) & i initially mentioned 13-14 which i dont think they'll agree on. Should i ask for 12 fixed & let them decide the rest?

Kindly help.

(Urgent)Average salary for APM role

I got to know that budget for the role i interviewed is in range of 20-25 LPA. My last drawn salary itself is lower than the market standards. The company wouldn't give hike more than 30% considering my experience in the role domain. But I have performed well in all my interview rounds. 
Any tips from the community to negotiate for atleast the lower band of their budget?

Salary negotiation

How to negotiate your salary when the recruiter asks what is expected? Let's say your current pay is 28(25 fixed and 3 variable). What is the maximum that you could ask and they could offer? Any tips and suggestions on asking better offer?

Recently I came across a post that says PMs earn in the bracket of 35 to 50lpa.

How much do Product managers with 6+ years(4+ into pm and 2yrs in project management and consulting) of total experience make?

I have 6 years experience. My current base/fixed is 60 LPA. (I also got a 5 lakh bonus and 5 lakh of my ESOPs vested this year making my total vested about 30 lakh. So the total comp is 70). 

I'm being offered a senior engineer position in an early stage startup (as part of the founding engineer team). They haven't given an offer yet.

Being early stage, the emphasis will most likely be on ESOPs. How do I evaluate this and set my expectations? (If I were to switch to a mature company, I believe the hikes usually are between 15-20%? How does this work for early stage startups?)

Salary expectation at early stage startup

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

How do you go about interviews where neither party has discussed the band . Do you seek blood or bleed?

Tell me your story of salary negotiation. Did you straight up ask the band? Did the HR ignore or take offense at your audacity to ask how much this role could pay?
