I've been offered a position in an early stage startup with a substantial percentage of my compensation in stock options.
Aside to whether going for esop or cash is a good/bad idea, I'm having issues evaluating the offer and understanding its fairness. I read about strike price, vesting etc. but I'm having issue understanding the monetary value of the stock option at present.Let's say that the average salary for my role is 90k/year, and I get offered 60k in cash and the rest in esops. How do I measure the current value of the esop I'm offered (to make up for the remaining 30k) and understand if the amount of esop offered is fair?Thanks!
