I have heard of these. I wouldn't accept an offer like this unless the fixed comp was 2-3x normal market value for my services.

(The stock of my employers usually goes up during my vesting periods, and usually by well more than is needed to double my total comp -- the 2-3x is risk adjusted)

If your career mostly spans the last decade, it should be noted that this was a really really weird decade in terms of asset appreciation vs inflation.
