To me, that indicates that they haven't really thought the whole financial model through very well, which isn't often a Good Thing.
Lot's of good opportunities out there right now, don't make a fast decision that you'll later regret.
One thing you could do is get them to agree to some rough bracket, like you'll get 10% of what the founders get, or at least 90% of what already-existing employees similar to your role get.

- tptacek 19y agoSay for the sake of argument the company has been in business for a year before our friend arrived. Say there's another employee who has been there since day 1, but is skills-wise pin compatible with our friend. You think he should get 90% of what the day 1 guy gets?
