Focusing solely on monthly pay can mean missing out on these crucial opportunities. This guide helps you navigate the full scope of your potential offer—understanding equity structures that capture growth, identifying milestone-based bonuses linked to successful missions or technology demonstrations, and leveraging perks that enhance your daily satisfaction in a mission-critical field.
