I've seen structures where they pay ~$50k in cash and then you get ~$150k in stock. But the stock is restricted such that you only can sell it in ~3 years time.

I've seen structures where they pay ~$50k in cash and then you get ~$150k in stock. But the stock is restricted such that you only can sell it in ~3 years time. Good incentive to keep the stock price up, as you 'bought' it at ~150k but could sell it in 3 years for much more than 150k.
