Exactly. There get so many startup positions advertised, even here on HN, where the job description summarizes as “build our product from the ground up” and the offere salary is below par and the offered equity is an insultingly low number like 0.2%.

It's because the founders think too highly of themselves, and have the thought that since it's their "idea", they deserve the lion's share of equity.
Do not ever work for a startup where the founder(s) have this sort of mentality.
