Assuming a $100M exit, no dilution, $150k/yr elsewhere, no gains from investing the salary difference, same salary raises per year, no additional equity.

after 5 years, you net even. Anything longer than that you lose out. Anything shorter, you make more (sans taxes.)

Seems like a risky bet to me.

And no dilution is not realistic given that they haven't even raised a Series A yet.

I agree you need a decent multiplier for the given up salery 5-10 minimum.
