10%?
The thing is like, you're talking a profit of like 114K on the stock options and you're going to be doing like, insane amounts of work. 100K is fairly typical, normal developer salary, right? Unless I misread the deal, I'd never do this, you could go for a 120K job and not be gambling on options at all and start having a good lifestyle right now or you could take a regular developer job and some contract on the weekends and probably work less hours in either case...
