I would suggest to treat options as a icing on the cake. Ensure that what your getting is a base amount of salary that is according to the market or something you are comfortable with. If not, do not do it even when you are calculating and it turns out to be a nice deal. Cause you have to stay in that startup for a minimum of 4 years before you can get the full amount of it. That is provided you don't get terminated, you quit or the startup fails in that 4 years.
