Ask HN: First Engineer at Seed-Stage Startup – Salary Advice?
7 by RightBack | 6 comments on Hacker News.
Using a throwaway. Background: I am the first employee/engineer at a B2B startup in the Bay Area that just closed seed round. I am responsible for building out our product and managing our two junior devs. I have a masters degree if that matters. My current salary is ~$85k with 2% of company in stock options (usual 4yr vest, 1yr cliff). I am wondering what a fair salary I should be getting, my anniversary is approaching and I would like to ask for a reasonable increase. Thanks in advance HN! edit: for clarity, I have 3 years + experience building web apps, 2 of those building my own startup part time while in college. I would say I am at a mid level engineering level but not up to senior level yet.
