Hi all, I'm an undergrad who will graduate this Spring. I'm in talks with a startup for a strategic finance associate position and they asked me what my comp expectations are. I'm not sure how to respond given my 0 years of full time experience. What mix of cash and equity makes sense given my background? The role is in a HCOL area (NY/SF/LA).
