The earlier the startup is in the process the lower your salary and the more equity you may take. Don't be afraid to ask for $40,000 more than you think you would get.  You never know.  They might meet you in the middle! Also keep in mind: You may or may not get health care and retirement benefits depending on the startup.  That can be wiggle room in the negotiation since you are taken on added personal cost and risk. 2 - Seek help with the negotiation from experienced startup employees If you attend startup events, you will make friends that can help you in the negotiation process.  You will know a better sense of what to ask for in terms of equity, vesting schedule, etc. Try to reach out and meet some people in the startup space that can help you evaluate your office and come up with a game plan. When you do sign an equity agreement, make sure it's in writing and legit with a government contract (depending on the amount granted). 3 - Consider attending a tech accelerator to get your idea off the ground Accelerators offer accounting and legal services, introduction to investors, support and mentorship in exchange for a small amount of equity (although some don't take any equity!) Here is a list of startup accelerators. 4 - Diversity is super important in crypto! J, Erica, and Gwen chat about how it seems that more male engineers are opting into crypto than any other group and it's critical for everyone to learn more about it, even if they don't plan to invest in it. Blockchain and crypto are the future and right now, the future is in the hands of very non-diverse group. Probably a bad idea? If you are part of the crypto majority, invite a diverse friend into the space - whether that's attending an event or sharing a podcast you like.   Questions? Like or dislike? Leave us a comment!
