If you do decide to accept a position, then do yourself a service and negotiate a market-value salary that reflects all the overtime you'll be contributing. As for equity: that is what you get for the risk that the company will go bankrupt. The earlier you join the company, the higher the risk, and therefore the higher the equity. Don't mix salary and equity! If things don't workout.. say, a month before your cliff, then at least you'll walk away knowing you got paid fairly.
