hard to give advice in these situations. i would keep the chiller job but that's just me, also i'm single. some people just don't mind work as much, you have to know yourelf.

$120k seems like less than you'd want to be making for a family of 3 in a major city though

what's the equity offer?

can you get a raise from your current place?

what a miserable ass "raise" on their part. doesn't even really count.

but if it's just a function of it being a totally unambitious company then i'd still stay. again i can't pretend to know what you're like but this sounds like a move that i'd totally regret. just $60k is not enough for ditching a job that doesn't require work for one that does.

do NOT do this. i know enough people who have worked at shitcoin companies to say this:

1. you will almost certainly be overworked and will want to leave after six or so months

2. the equity is worthless

3. they’re probably committing fraud or something similar. their GC is either oblivious or more likely supporting this

4. CCO is usually a shit leadership position that gets cut in layoffs

they are almost certainly doing something illegal. don’t be naive.

CEO sounds like a sociopath who will lay you off easily.

shitcoin companies burn out their employees and then churn through new retards. it might pay well, but it won’t pay anything when you get laid off within a year.

How do you make so little money in a major city? You’re a lawyer making 120k? Do you just work on vendor agreements at a small company or something? The crypto job is hard to evaluate with more info. You said the equity is “24k”? Like thousand dollars or units or what? If the equity they’re offering is only valued at 24k on current valuation then lol tell them to fuck off. There’s a high chance you’re laid off in the next year but maybe it works out and you get rich. I’d probably go for that than being stuck in some shit 120k job tbh.

I would say no. What’s the point of working at a startup if you don’t really get to share in the upside. Even if the valuation 5x you’ll make 100k? Seems ridiculous.

Need to know:

Title

Base comp

Bonus

Series of fundraising

Unicorn status

Are they calling equity by $ or %

Series B is pretty early, so comp being shit isn't unexpected. The equity question is more about whether they're allocating against a dollar amount or on the basis of how much of the company you'd own. You're far enough down the ladder that it probably doesn't matter either way. But series A and B, a % based allocation is more the norm.

I would look at this solely as an opportunity to add major areas of responsibility and resume points quickly and then leave within about 2 years to be a CCO yourself for real CCO pay (low to mid 300s base, 40%+ bonus, meaningful equity, etc). Don't make this a long term pit stop or you'll regret it

This was really solid advice. Getting a ton of experience but I’m running on fumes. I don’t know how people keep up this startup pace, it feels like every waking hour is taken up by work.
