Also, i would like to add that if you are going to get paid in tokens, the high amount you are supposed to get in dollars is a red flag, because that only means it dilutes the supposed token price a lot.
Always find the right ratio of the tokens they are keeping themselves, giving advisors, marketing, and bounties against investors. The more % of total amount is given freely, the more is going to be dumped from all of those sectors.

And try to find a project where the distribution for investors is fair, without any discounts and you would invest it by yourself too.
