Comment on Ask HN: How should I evaluate an equity offer vs. hourly rate?

Comments

If you aren’t signing on for the whole ride and are not guaranteed any more work after the deliverables then this is just a regular contract. When you get paid cash for a regular contract the cash doesn’t vest, so I see no reason why equity would. That’s some next level bullshit. The equity should vest on written acceptance of the deliverable or you should walk.

Perhaps vest is the incorrect terminology here, or I wasn't clear in the explanation.

The essence of it is, the equity will be allocated to me on written acceptance of the deliverables.

I'm trying to determine, as quantitatively as I can, how much equity is reasonable for my time.
