+1 Agree with everything you mentioned. Also, make sure you don't get a long vesting period. $200K a year in equity based on latest round valuation, vesting monthly. Just think of it as receiving comp as $200K/12 but in equity.

As a #3 employee, assuming #1 and #2 are founders, you are as close to founding team member as possible and you should be compensated similar to founder than a #30 employee.

Definitely say NO to 1% of common.
