<prompt> Human: I recently received a verbal job offer at a technology startup in the New York City area, with three different salary and equity packages to choose from. I do intend to take the position, but as I am coming from a more straight-forward corporate background I am not as familiar with the compensation structure in this environment and am hopeful some with more experience can assist me in making the proper choice.Background on the company:Technology startup built around a SaaS application, high growth, Close to 200 MM in funding, Has doubled in employees each of the past 2 years with plans to double again by 2019Their choice of offers are as follows:Offer 1Base comp: 90k,No. of options: 1,000Offer 2Base comp: 85k,No. of options: 1,500Offer 3Base comp: 80k,No. of options: 2,000They also provided some information on expected exit valuation as it compares to public companies with similar customer bases. All in all, it seems to be a good offer but before I accept I want to make sure I am asking the right questions. As of now I intend to inquire about churn rate, number of options issued, etc.Each offer is more than I make currently by at least 10k a year, and the position is very interesting in a great office and environment. I currently have 70k in loans left from undergrad, so I am also curious if one of these choices makes more sense in terms of helping to pay those off as well. Are there more questions I should be asking?Has anyone here been presented with a similar offer and can share their experience?  <response>: Take the highest comp and invest it in an index fund. Chances are your startup wont make it. Dont say that with any malice, the odds are stacked against everyone, money in the bank. Good luck, sounds like a solid job and pay package any route you go.
