I had a similar (ridiculous) conversation with a startup that had already listed on the public stock exchange. Okay, if the shares are really worth much more than their current market value, and you want to hire me for $X salary and $X/50 market value worth of your stock, it'd make more sense for me to take a different job that just pays $2X salary in cash, and then buy stock on the market...
