What's a typical salary for the same person?

(Obviously this affects the risk/reward trade-off)



Someone that early would probably get the same deal as the founders, which would vary depending on how much funding the company had. If the company only had a small amount of angel funding, they'd be paying themselves no more than living expenses. If they had more substantial funding they might get 50-70% of market rate.
