    Thank you for your input on this topic. It is nice to hear that CEOs should be paid based on the stage of the company.

    Good video.  What do you feel is the role or how options/grants, as well as bonus comp be structured into the contract.  Not just the monetary aspect of salary post vesting period.

    Hey @Franklin Moses! Just as important as a salary, equity and bonus dollars are key parts of anyone's salary, especially a founder's. Our Carta Total Comp product has full benchmarking to set realistic and competitive salary, equity, and bonus numbers, but we've also released helpful reporting that's free to everyone that you can access here
    That document outlines salary and equity data for engineering, product, and success in New York from entry level all the way to C-suite level and should give you a basic idea of the importance of offering equity along with salary to remain competitive in the landscape.
