Makes me wonder when is it financially worth it to work for a startup? (i know you should never join a startup based purely on financial reasons) https://mashable.com/article/amazon-eero-wifi-router-sale/#QQjGSmXSYPq3
Man that was a dark read
Either join as a cofounder or join pre IPO unicorn “startups”. Nothing in between
Unicorn don’t turn out well either for Uber
Seriously, what did you expect? Not choosing money over employees? /s
Joining startups for pure financial uptick is terrible option for employees
Nathan Hardison... not surprised.
Classmate from Stanford?
Why did you say that? He seems cool.
When has it ever been a financially smart decision to join a startup as anything but a founder or investor?

That acquisition was a fire sale 'liquidation' event. Line workers and most lower tier debt/equity are expected to be wiped out.
That's why you do rsus and not options
do most startups do rsus or options? agree options put a lot of burden on employees
Some do options, it's almost always a worse option for employees
