Startup 1: $0 Startup 2: $0 Startup 3: Would’ve made ~$40k had I not left so early (left after 7 months, sold for a couple hundred million like 6 months later) Startup 4: Publicly traded now, will see how it turns out but hopefully $100k or more

what equity % did you get ?

At the now public company, it wasn’t a %, but just a grant mix of options post IPO and a grant of RSUs as well because of some funny timing with the IPO.

I only planned on staying a year before moving so I didn’t negotiate any stock into the initial comp package, but later re-negotiated that into the plan which resulted in the weird timing around IPO so have a weird mix of options and RSUs.
