Discussion Ask HN: I'm joining a startup and I have a couple of questions. Hello HN,I've been invited to join a startup and I'm pretty keen on the idea so far. But I have a couple of qns that I need some help with.1. They are offering me equity. Should I take it? Or skip this and stick to a higher salary?2. They just closed a Series A and their product is already profitable. Is it polite for me to ask for figures?(I'm assuming figures will be helpful for me to determine if I should take equity.) 4 points launchplus 15 years ago 5 comments
I've been invited to join a startup and I'm pretty keen on the idea so far. But I have a couple of qns that I need some help with.
1. They are offering me equity. Should I take it? Or skip this and stick to a higher salary?
2. They just closed a Series A and their product is already profitable. Is it polite for me to ask for figures?
