I agree with you, that I should ask for a decent monthly salary. But having stock options is one of Startup benefits. Regardless salary, how many stock options

  If you are the first hire, have a market rate salary, post angel round, I think the going rate is around .1% to 2% (on the high end) vested over 4 years or whatever. But seconding most of what other people are saying, the stock options are most likely worth 1 month's salary at best with the default value of $0. Thus, it's better to negotiate for better salary.
