Since L_Rahman didn't mention "startup" per se....
The Equity / RSU package from many big (publicly-traded) tech firms can be as much as 30% of total compensation. I generally account for this portion the same as "cash with a discount" -- when negotiating for my current role, I used a 30% discount on the present share price.
For startups... it's a mixed bag (as saryant mentions).
Most comments have responded assuming that it is a startup, and it was a correct assumption.
But it's helpful to know that large publicly traded tech companies can offer as much as 30%. If or when I do choose to work for one, I'll keep that in mind.
