When I googled your company the only results listed total comp under $100k for software engineers. 120k is slightly better than that. Equity is worth zero at private companies unless there is a system in place to sell it, so don't try to claim that is worth anything to most people.

I make around $200k + equity as a Staff Engineer, fully remote, though as my company is also private, equity === 0. I would say I am moderately underpaid in the current market but I'm happy with that tradeoff since my company is fully remote, great work life balance, and I work with great people.

That’s a US salary though, right? So you would expect it to be higher. Granted some companies might pay the same salary regardless of country but in my experience it’s usually adjusted

My company operates globally but is based in the US. We don't adjust salary based on location.
