first post here. i'm getting offered 0.4% equity in my current org vested across 4 years. this company is well funded by the same vc who invested in cursor, and anthropic. however, they aren't increasing the pay. i'm confused about what to do. take it or keep working there until i hit a better offer. still in college, btech, 3rd year starts soon. zero idea what to do. 😭

Keep working there until you hit a better offer I will say. You will anyways get to learn and have money. Never completely rely on college.

0.4% equity with no salary bump is borderline insulting, especially if you're doing meaningful work. That's giving you ownership to make you feel invested while keeping compensation low. Classic startup exploitation of college students.

0.4% in a well-funded company backed by top-tier VCs could be worth more than salary increases in the long run. You're in college - this is the time to take equity risks.

what really matters is how you look at the company 10-20 years from now. taking equity for you work can be a good option only if you understand marketing, expansion and growth strategy of the company. if you don't understand that, just sit there until you get better offer. ( some companies just pay equity, not even salary)

Take it! You're still in college, this is invaluable experience, and 0.4% in a well-funded startup could be life-changing money if they exit successfully. Plus the network and learning are worth it alone.
