Im about to negotiate salary/equity for a biotech startup that has hit an >$10m seed round. I'm a fresh/under grad but have an unusual amount of experience in startups and can also code in a number of languages. The founders were keen on getting me to work on an idea that revolves around the intersection of software and science. Upon further inspection, this would literally be the centrepiece of the company. They mentioned they are looking for people to open up and lead new spaces like this. But I actually havent even graduated yet, and therefore asking for equity proportional to my responsibilities seems very out of order to me, and my gut instinct is to just be grateful. What would be a reasonable salary/equity package to ask for? Should I test the limits or play it safe?
