One important aspect of equity is understanding your own value and worth within the company.
It's not enough to simply be given equity - you need to know your own value in order to truly benefit from it.
This means understanding your skills, experience, and contributions to the company, and being able to articulate why you deserve a certain amount of equity.
Knowing your value for equity is crucial because it allows you to negotiate effectively for the amount of equity you believe you deserve.
If you don't know your own value, you may end up accepting less equity than you are worth, which can ultimately impact your financial future.
In order to know your value for equity, it's important to do your research and understand the market value of your skills and experience.
This may involve talking to colleagues in similar roles, researching industry standards, and seeking advice from financial experts. By arming yourself with this knowledge, you can confidently negotiate for the equity you deserve.
