I was given extra equity, but that means nothing to me. If you don't believe in the equity, then the answer is immediately: Yes.

- digikata 12y agoYou are paying for your equity in opportunity cost. So, roughly, if you take your possible market salary minus your current salary over some time period, that's what you're paying to purchase that equity. The straight financial calculation to make is - do you feel that that equity is worth that price - if you had that cash in hand, would you buy the equity with all its risk? This is one financial estimation, it isn't the only consideration, there is career experience, cashflow to support your life style (is the salary so low that your life is being impacted), etc to be considered too. However, if you don't believe in the equity, is the opportunity cost you're paying worth the stackup of everything else that's positive about your position?
- alain94040 12y agoAgreed. The reason to be at such a place if because you believe in the product, you are excited by the growth and by the ability to have real influence on the product. You believe it's going somewhere. If this is just like any other job to you, then yes, move on, you are in the wrong place.
