Compensation wise, that’s a great startup job, especially with such an insanely generous exercise window. Where I think you maybe went wrong is, if you are building everything, it’s not a collaboration with the founders, which is half of the fun of everything.
I suspect it’s more about the culture than the numbers. You say on one hand, oh I’d probably stay for 3% more, yet, you don’t see the point to earn another 1%. Your salary is pretty good man. Meanwhile they are burning $250K every month into smoke
10% is not realistic. That’s the whole employee options pool. I mean imagine if at your current job, someone worked there for a year before you, then walked away with more than your entire current equity grant, never to be heard from again. That’s what you’re describing.
