You're probably drawing lousy benefits and a no-frills 401k with bad funds. Plus the bonus of having to figure out when the payroll dollars run out.
I worked at a startup where towards the end before their buyout, they weren't paying the phone bills, and their core profit center was a call center. When you work in that situation and trying to troubleshoot downed circuits, which turn out to be shut off for non-payment, that's some serious stress.
Right now I work for a government org with some really awesome technology challenges. Plenty if politics, but also security and ok pay. I'd rather have a constitutionally protected pension and startup+ pay than startup pay and no equity
