How do you guys approach equity only? The company I'm interested in is a startup and will offer between 1-8%. However I must provide a pilot project showcasing my value to get %. I'll only know what percentage I'll recieve once I'm successful. Is this a normal practice in thr tech world ?

This sounds pretty extractive to me. It’s one thing to bring someone on equity only, it’s another to not disclose salary until after a pilot project.

But doing both just feels really scammy. I’d look more into the team if possible.

But every startup is very unique so anything is possible.

I always treat equity as discretionary/optional. It’s a 0 until proven otherwise. If I’m not happy with the Base salary I am not taking the job. So you have to ask yourself if the equity is a zero, which you still take this job? If so, then you can always say you don’t got a pilot project and refuse the equity
