How much salary should I target


I am a senior software engineer making $110/hour ($200k/year) with no benefits.

I recently got invited to join the startup company.

"What kind of compensation package should I target to be worth while for me to join the startup."

I have seen salaries in the market ranging from $110,000/year, $150,000/year and on Level.fyi to be 300,000/year total compensation package.

So many questions.

What's your risk profile? How much equity are they offering (not just shares, but % stake)? What round are they at? Are you excited about the startup? Is the work local/onsite or remote? What skills will you learn? Have you interviewed at other places? If so, what salary were they offering?
