To jump on the pure speculation band wagon, I've herd from 1-5% for CTO's after 8 digit VC investments. Jason Roberts (Co-host of techzing) once said he was offered >1% <10% (but more towards the low side) equity for a CTO position after series A funding in Uber.

Except it will most likely vest over a period of a few years as opposed to getting the full 1% upfront. I don't think he will be able to quit his job now and walk away with the cash - he will most likely need to remain employed at FB until it all vests.

"Compensation for positions." Was meant to imply, signing bonus and stock options. Which would include stock options.
