I should've mentioned that I work remotely from a developing country. So $60k is not really a bad deal here. But thanks to the pandemic and the remote work movement, I was able to get a $120k gig.

The preferred price is about $0.9 (I heard it's been like this for the last 2 rounds). Does that mean the current valuation of the company is $49M?

The parent comment is also correct. We've experienced a down round due to the pandemic.

Thanks for your advice. Like I mentioned in other comment, I'm working remotely from another country where $60k is considered decent. Personally, that is more than enough for me to live a decent lifestyle and thus I'm a bit more risk tolerance.

You're right. The startup is a US company. The parent is also correct, I'm working remotely from another country, where $60k is considered decent.

You're correct. There were multiple grants, not exactly 2. The vesting schedule is standard and there is nothing abnormal about it.

from the ask-hn dept.

Throwaway for obvious reason.I've been working at the current startup for a little more than 4 years and was offered total around 400,000 options. It requires another 4 years to fully vest those 400k options.We raised totally about $10M and have about 55M shares outstanding. Our current 409A value is $0.07. The company is going to raise series A in the next 15 months.My cash comp is around...
