While I understand Marco's position, personally I'm not in that position and I don't want the pressure of running on my business so if someone is willing to offer me 7 to 8 figures plus a massive salary for my startup then I'm not going quibble.

As I once told an owner offering me equity "I'm at a stage of my life where finical stability is a welcome rest-bite so don't be offended if I duck out early."

> a welcome rest-bite

Was that supposed to be "respite"?

Yes, I can't spell very well.

I kind of like rest-bite. Phonetically similar, kind of means the same thing :)

That's the second solecism you've redeemed in this thread alone. You could make a career out of this as a minor superhero :)
