Higher Salary vs. More Equity: Which is Better?!

I want to share my thoughts as to whether or not you should consider higher salary or more equity.
In the tech industry, when you get a job, you will typically receive a salary and equity with the job offer. While it is ideal to receive a super high salary plus a large amount of equity, it usually doesn’t happen like that. Typically, either you’ll get a lower salary or higher equity or higher salary with more equity.
In this video, we’ll talk about the pros and cons of both salary and equity and which could be better for you!
Having worked many years in the recruiting and staffing industry, I have acquired a lot of tips, tricks and insights in the industry that I want to share with you! I have worked as a top performing recruiter at a nation wide recruiting agency to now running my own recruiting business.Whether you have questions on how to better your resume, ace the interview, or learn more about the recruiting world and my entrepreneurial experiences, please feel free to subscribe and come along for the journey!

Dang it. KZbin must seriously devalue this sort of info. This was gold. Well delivered. Clear and concise.

[@RecruiterPreston]

Really appreciate it!

SALARY IS KING...ALWAYS! You should also talk about how banks only use salary to determine how much of a mortgage you can afford when buying a home.

My growth of 401k is 2.74% in the past year. In this environment does investing under a brokerage with a custodian outperform a 401k? should I seek a pro to grow my funds on brokerage acct or still hold? I have 5 years to retirement. Happy to discuss.

[@westgibbs]

Mine was 8.16%, I used to dca into etfs but I reconsidered the strategy since I am still way behind after the massive downturn since Jan last year

[@ClaudiaRom]

Be careful not to be lured into the market too soon, this current situation has really opened my eyes to the importance of a good mentor on KZbin or elsewhere knowing what he/she is doing

the size of your retirement portfolio will overwhelmingly be a function of the performance of the stock and bond markets between now and when you start withdrawing from it.

Private investing is the best way to go about the market right now, especially for near retirees, I've been in touch with a wealth manager for awhile now netted 370thousand this downturn, made it clear there's more to the markets than we average joes know.

@@AanyaDarika_ who is this manager you use? I lost over 50000 already this year on Vanguard. Im in need of guidance from a financial-planner going forward.

Why don t you accepte the salary and if you get to know that your company is going to get great by your own comoany shares

[@MichelleCapri]

I'm getting equity paid out due to my company going private. Is it possible to roll the equity over to another investment for lower tax payouts for the year?

[@RecruiterPreston]

That is a great question and I would definitely encourage you to seek a professional regarding this as I don’t want to share something that could be incorrect!
