I got an verbal offer to join a startup that just got accepted into YC. I have worked with the two founders previously and we have a good relationship. They have been interested in hiring me for over 6 months, so presumably they have either had trouble filling the position or they want me specifically because of the trust that exists in our relationship (or both). I would come on to fill a technical position.
I'm thinking of asking to get paid exactly as much as they are paying themselves (let's say $120k), with a lower stock package because I'm not a founder (let's say $80k). All three of us are going to pour the same amount of blood, sweat and tears into this so I think that's fair. What are your thoughts, Reddit? Thanks in advance.
