Shares or options? At the most recent value, that's ~$90k in shares, and would be taxed as such, no? Options would be better from a tax perspective.

Recent funding != stable, what do the books look like? I'm going to guess not profitable. Was the round C to stay alive, or expand operations / R&D / Sales? Have they even flirted with profitability?

Do you feel like the comp package (minus the equity) is fair? Do you know if you'll even be empowered (really) to drive a new product or are you walking into a political mess and are going to get canned before the shares even vest (is there a vesting schedule?)

Lots of questions to factor in. My opinion is always to ask them all, and their willingness to answer (regardless of the answer's content) will tell you everything you need to know.
