Don't. Options are a lottery ticket, and if this were a hot startup they'd be paying you $100k+ in addition to those options. Get out.

For perspective, I make more than you (in cash) as a community manager / content-marketing person at a pre-A startup.

Thanks for your advice. Like I mentioned in other comment, I'm working remotely from another country where $60k is considered decent. Personally, that is more than enough for me to live a decent lifestyle and thus I'm a bit more risk tolerance.
