Personally, I'm not interested in working for a company who doesn't pay out some form of equity. We live in a world which skews towards wealth - if you don't have wealth you're slowly falling behind those who do. So why the hell do I want to take my hard-earned skills to generate wealth for someone who doesn't want to share some of it? What if the company goes down and my equity is worth 0? Well that's life, at least I threw in my lot someone I chose to back. PS offering < 1% to a "senior" hire does not constitute sharing.
