Is $45K/year a good salary for the country where you live?

Is the $90K in hard green cash or it's some kind of future payment? Is that in written?

Assume the 4% is worthless, but pick it just in case, but don't assume it is worth $2MM. Is that in written?

How many founders, how many programmers and how many other employees does the company have?

90K is around half my yearly salary so while it's nice, it's not a great deal of money to me. It's certainly not worth having sacrificed many nights and weekends over the years. The equity is worth a lot more than 90K though, so that's the main appeal of the deal.

Do they have any customer now?

[And again, if you pick offer with the 4%, get it in written. A verbal contract isn't worth the paper it's written on.]

Equity is only valuable if they turn it into something you can sell. Do they have any plans to go public?
