edgeztv - here is a chance to join a YC funded startup building a kickass product and be pretty much employee no: 1 ie a cofounder and you are cautious about salary.

Grab this kind of opportunity with both hands - pete and his team are a smart bunch with an awesome idea. Salary considerations ahouldn't be in your head when you are assessing the opportunity. Isn't $50k nough to live off?

I don't care about the salary - I care about the stock, which, if you read carefully, is the focus of my question :)

I would be happy on 50k if I had say 10-20% of the company. I would not be happy with 50k, however if it was 5% or less.

(Of course this all also largely depends on the idea, which I don't know about yet)

What I really meant to ask in my previous post is whether they are looking for a co-founder or just a paid developer.

In retrospect, phrasing it in terms of salary and stock was the wrong way to frame that question.

i don't think a single employee will ever get 10-20% of the company

If you're interested in applying then please do get in touch and tell us more about yourself Edgeztv.

Sumon, thanks for the kind comments :)

Sorry if my previous question regarding the 50k salary & stock came out inelegant. What I really meant to ask, is whether you're looking for a co-founder or a paid developer.

I'm employed as a developer right now and I'm almost ready to quit to start my own startup. I have a few projects that I've been working on in my spare time, so I'm not sure that I'd want to join another company unless I really like the idea and would be a co-founder.

Hope that makes sense. Once again, sorry if my previous posts sounded like criticism. I did not intend it that way!

Sorry about the 5 duplicate comments - technical error, apparently.
