i got a job offer with a highly reputable startup with ~30 employees and a 50m valuation.

i am a software engineer with a top b.s., state school m.s., and two years of experience (in which i was very successful). i am currently unemployed; my last salary was 96k and i had 0.2% of a 40 employee / 20m valuation company.

i was offered 100k and 0.07%. i thought the equity offered was very low, and asked for 100k and 0.22%. the company came back with 106k and 0.07%, or 100k and 0.08% (i guess they want to keep their equity). they claimed that this offer is in 75th percentile of comparable companies.

i am talking to them in person tomorrow. i'm scraping salary data from angel.co at the moment. what else should i do/know?

thanks!
