A former colleague has founded an Uber for X startup. They want me to join without salary to build their software from scratch. After having worked there for free for a almost year (or even longer if I don&#x27;t work full time) I would get stocks worth the salary I never got, to become co-owner.<p>Do you think this a good deal to consider? I think becoming stake in an Uber for X business sounds like fun but I am afraid I can&#x27;t get by on savings and I would lose most of my current job security and salary. Risk&#x2F;reward, opportunity cost? I&#x27;m really hesitant to work for free in return for stocks...
