Is this offer good enough?

I recently cleared the interviews for a very well seed funded startup. I want to know how should I negotiate? HR has asked me to tell the expectations, how to benchmark it? Also, how much ESOPs should I ask for? YOE-1.5

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?

Hi Wanted to see if the offer is in line with what the market is offering. It's a founders office role with a Series B company in Fintech. YoE: 4.5 One of the 5 old IITs Based on the market conditions, does it look lucrative enough to join? Fixed: 38 Variable:10% of fixed. With a possibility of 1.5x Stocks: Roughly 25 lacs per year

I’m considering joining as a founding engineer at an early stage startup who is just about to sign a $4M seed round. They offered to match my current base and a $20,000 in ESOPs. When joining at such early stage companies, how should I think of ESOPs so that I can better negotiate. I’m banking on this idea going big and I want to get as much ESOPs as possible to maximise my returns in the future.

I am a fresher software engineer. I was an intern at a series A startup and they have offered me a pre-placement offer. This is the breakup(Yearly): Basic - 6L HRA - 2.4L Special allowance - 1.9L Food allowance - 26.4K Professional pursuit - 60K Internet - 12K Half yearly bonus - 50K PF contribution - 2K Total CTC - 12.5L Apart from this, I've also been allocated 1000 ESOPs Is there any scope of negotiation here? If yes, how do I go about it? Any advice/guidance would be very helpful!

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?

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?)

I am currently working in a startup which pays 38lpa base and no stocks, no EPF. Plus point is complete work from home. So i accepted it. But then I am thinking if I was low balled, as I have 6 years experience including 2 other MAANG level companies i worked with (not exactly MAANG but nearby) My previous compensation was 28 base and stocks of 7 lakh per year. I didn't had any competing offer so accepted it. I am planning to study DSA and system design to start applying again in one year. Let me know your opinion.
