Fastlaners, couple of questions.
I'm currently involved in my friends startup company. I'm the UX designer, I made iPhone and iPad app design, web design, I designed and wrote operating instructions for the product etc. Now we're close to closing a great deal with major industry player and to be honest, we're in the win win situation, because if the Big Player doesn't buy our product, we already have a number of small business sending us email about our product (which they've found organically, thru website I made, we never promoted anything or paid for any advertisements yet).
Few days ago I talked to my friend about his idea on compensating my efforts, and he said that as soon as he forms a separate llc for the product, I'll be hired. The thing is, I already have a job...and we didn't talk about specifics such as salary...
So his idea is to hire me officially in this new company...my initial thought was that I'll get a check for X amount of money for all my work so far. But then again, I'm 100% noobie at these things, I have 0 experience in these kinds of arrangements and I would like to hear what you guys have to say about situations like this, some advices, common practices etc...
