>> What if they give 1-2% and good market rate salary (~200k/y) to a founding engineer? Is that still a bad deal?

OR....you could just become a founding engineer by actually founding and keep 90% of the equity. You can get that salary with an equity raise, its worth not being the low-person on the totem pole.

That's forgetting what a founder actually has to do and worry about.

Advertise for a founding CEO and offer them 1-2%.
