Located in west coast but not major city for VC/tech. Valuation upside possible - in growth industry, recent investment from PE funds, equity # and vesting schedule unknown. All speculative, positive feedback from final rounds with offer pending.

 

I think at the end of the day it all depends on total compensation and work life balance. Anybody who joined Stripe, Airbnb, Roblox, Coinbase, DoorDash, Palantir, Snowflake, etc. pre-ipo with decent equity package did incredibly well. Try to get a role at a company who's valuation has upside and offers a decent equity vesting arrangement. Ensure that you're not taking a role at a startup with limited potential that will work you 60-70 hours weekly for $150k-$175k in a HCOL area. Check out teamblind.com, they have much better info on total compensation for these types of roles.
