Just one metric you're not outlining here. Is the current offer at market rates or is the entire offer assuming some portion of equity in-lieu of cash? If you're already being offered a job at market rates then the rest is really just how much of a gamble you want to take and If you're at market, and you've got equity then I'd take that.
