D********G 发帖数: 70 | 1 Some startup company in bay area offers something as below:
base 130K, signon bonus 10K, options 30K.
I think the options are a little low, even if the company valued 10 times
after 4-5 years, the money is still too little to buy a townhouse in bay
area.
Any suggestions about how to negotiate the options?
thanks a lot | k*********t 发帖数: 2999 | 2 reasonable offer for a senior position. Check the percentage of your options
for further negotiation, but don't expect too much.

| D*******a 发帖数: 3688 | 4 The company is valued at $100m now so it must have at least 1-2 rounds of VC
funding. Therefore, it has already passed the most risky stage. The amount
sounds fair.
what's your alternative/current situation?
that?

| D*******a 发帖数: 3688 | 6 You can probably use other offers to negotiate against each other. If you
want more stock upside and are willing to take more risk, perhaps you can
look at smaller start up companies. I am sure they are a dime a dozen in SV.
