0.2% equity isn't worth considering. At best it's maybe a years' pay 5 years from now, and the best is not likely to happen. A $20K increase in salary would make you that with much more certainty in 6 years.

I'd look at salaries for your skillset and location on GlassDoor, compare that to the $130K, and make your decision based on that.

In any case, I'd go back to them with a counteroffer. If you want more equity, I'd ask for 2% and hope for something like 1.2%. But unless you're very confident in the direction of the company, I'd choose salary over equity any day.
