Startup comp figures?
I just left banking after 2~ years for an AI startup and my base is $180k now with 20-40% cash bonus plus equity. Hours are much better as well. Curious to hear what your ranges are?

How'd you find this opportunity just curious?
What's your role? How much did they raise? What stage are they?
I'd consider your comp 99th percentile. I'm a co-founder at a Series B company and there's no way I'd pay $180K base + any bonus for someone with only 2 yrs of banking. You'd be a P2 in my book since you have almost no experience so that's the $120K-$131K base band with no variable.
I've hired ex-bankers but they also had 3yrs+ of FP&A experience and they still weren't $180K base.
That said, good on you for finding a role that pays that much and doesn't demand intense hours.
Ya but you almost assuredly aren’t hiring A players that would leave banking / finance for 120k lol
Correct, because it's a skillset mismatch. I don't need a 24yr old that knows every excel shortcut. I need experienced people that can build repeatable systems and processes.
It's the same reason I don't hire anyone straight out of consulting either.
Agree with Determined above. This is ridiculously high unless it is for a technical role.
Non- technical , I can name at least four start ups I have friends at that which pay within this range
would you mind shedding light on the stage/$raised?
Also would be helpful to understand their YoE. People coming 2yrs out of banking shouldn’t expect a comp increase going into FP&A.
It's probably one of those dead in the water AI finance companies like Rogo lol
