Yeah, it's best to steer clear of those situations unless you are after the experience and not the paycheck. I learned the hard way when I joined a VC backed company that was "poised to sell" and took a lower salary in exchange for company stock that would cash out upon sale. Well guess what, 7 years later we found ourselves literally days away from running out of money and the company was sold on fire sale for pennies on the dollar. All employee held stock was liquidated as part of the sale and us worker bees got nothing. After that the "cost cutting" began and heads began to roll. I got out at that point.
