Even when equity is offered, not all positions at a company qualify, so you're not likely to find something on a website. Sometimes, the job posting will state that equity is part if the comp package, and if not, it doesn't hurt to ask during the initial comp discussions. It's not rude or presumptions to do so, but also don't expect, many companies don't offer it.

Equity is typically given as an amount of stock value given one-time or annually, with a vesting schedule. The stock becomes yours once the vesting period is over. A simple math example would be that you get $10k a year, vested over 4 years. At your 1st anniversary, you get access to $2.5k to sell or let it continueto grow, year 2, you get another $2.5k, and again in years 3 and 4. In year 2, you'd get another $10k grant, so by year 3 $10k will vesting period year, and it grows every year, presuming you keep getting grants. When you leave the company, you forfeit any stock that hasn't vestd.

One constantly is under threat of having land annexed by Israel, but it isn't the one in the peace agreement, and Netanyahu has already said this agreement doesn't alter plans
