Either way, I'd still stand by the statement that if you're not getting equity (there are a lot of ways to do this) you're getting screwed.

I work in an industry where pretty much noone gets an equity stake, and have no idea exactly how equity stakes work in the world of startups. Is there some good article out there explaining it, for example, how much equity developers really get at various stages of funding, how people negotiate this when they are looking for a new job, how it varies by developer position, and what these shares tend to be worth in the long run?

I've long been thinking about leaving my industry for one of the tons of startups since I'm lucky enough to live in a tech hub, but know absolutely nothing about how compensation works on that side of the fence.
