FAQ

Does a 0.6 % stake at a seed‑stage AI startup ever beat a Meta E4 RSU grant?
Only when the startup achieves a $2 B+ exit within three years; otherwise the RSU’s lower upside but higher certainty wins.

Should I prioritize base salary over equity when comparing DeepVision and Meta?
Base salary differences are marginal ($180 k vs $185 k); the decisive factor is the equity’s risk‑adjusted upside, not the cash component.

Can I negotiate equity acceleration at Meta?
Meta’s E4 contracts do not include acceleration clauses; the only negotiable levers are sign‑on, relocation, and performance bonuses.
