Title: I&#x27;m not particularly  motivated by money but this feels like something I should ensure that I&#x27;m doing myself justice.<p>I dropped out of University after first year and took pretty much the first job I liked the sound of that would pay me to code. It&#x27;s been a great year and I wouldn&#x27;t trade it for the world. I was the first technical hire at the company working with an external agency. Fast forward 10-12 months, I&#x27;m now an experienced Junior Dev. I&#x27;m currently working for £18k p&#x2F;a. I&#x27;ve been interviewing at a couple of other companies and have had been quoted £26-32k and with a hard offer of £28k.<p>We&#x27;re about to go for a funding round with a valuation of ~£7m. My bosses have informally agreed to better the £28k offer. I really like the idea of a minor equity stake. I was thinking somewhere between 0.125% and 1%. This feels like a big range. I don&#x27;t want to come off like I don&#x27;t understand the value of the potential equity stake.<p>After the funding i&#x27;ll (hypothetically anyways) be working under an experienced CTO (new hire) with a quite substantial amount of responsibility.<p>I really appreciate any advice HN :)
