Don’t work for anyone who offers you a full-time job without a decent salary (generally, at least $50,000) because you’ll be “paid in equity”.

I was young and took a job for some $30K per year. Great workplace, terrible pay. Stayed for three years; ended up without any equity. I'd go back in a heartbeat if I could get the same compensation I'm getting now.
