It does sound like an old dot.com 1.0 scam: $25K starting bonus!!! And your salary is... stock options!

If it is $25K bonus plus $100K salary plus 2-4% of the company, it is worth considering.

The person they are looking for is hard to find and would be worth $95-$140K STARTING at another startup.

There is no way that the founder of imo.im is dumb enough to not pay a salary. This job has to have a six figure salary.
