<prompt> Human: Hey PF, I was hoping to get a little guidance from you guys. My situation is that I am developer and have been offered equity to join a very early start up. I am the 2nd engineer on the team and the entire company revolves around a web platform. The founders are not technical at all but obviously had the idea and are quite solid with the businessmarketingsales aspect of the company. At the moment, there is next to no product and I would be responsible for building almost the entire thing. This is my first experience with equity so when I was offered 7 I wasnt sure exactly if that was good or not. I realize that my skills are not very unique and I can be replaced so I dont want to come back greedy but also dont know if Im getting the short end of the stick on this deal. If anyone could help me out, I would appreciate it greatly. Assistant: Has financing been raised, and are you getting paid, or are you working for free? I wouldnt be super stoked about working for free for 7.Have you talked with the founders about their target timelines for growing and selling the company?Edit: Theres rstartups though I know nothing about that subredditHuman: Id be working for free. Its notable that Im fully employed at the moment but not really that happy with my job. The deal would be put in part time hours until funding which hasnt happened yet is raised and then probably move to full time. The goal would be to get bought out in a 3-5 year timeline, although its tough to predict those types of things.  <response>: 7 isnt enough for what youre doing, unless one of those guys is really well known and connected. Even then, youre getting abused.
