I just shake my head when I read this article. Taking half your market rate in salary and then complaining about it is a ridiculous example. Equity is never a sure thing and everyone know that. If you take equity in lieu of pay you do so at your own peril. I joined a start up because I didn't have the traditional experience needed to get hired at a big company. I was given a ton of responsibility and able to learn a lot in a short time. Yes, you still only have X number of years on your resume, but you can talk to people and show them the work you did, which is a lot more important than your resume IMO.
