Like others said. Equity compensation is essentially a legalized SV scam. If you're an employee #6+ and not an insider - just negotiate a salary figure and/or work conditions. Even if your shitty startup gets money laundered (I mean acquired) for 12 figures you are getting exactly zero of these figures. That's a plan. And startup lawyers smiling you into signing "just a standard" contract are getting paid big figures to laugh you out of the door after exit transaction.
