Equity at Startups

Trying to understand how equity component works at startups. I would guess there is a vesting schedule for the equity just like the big firms have RSU vesting. Also what happens if you want to jump the ship in 2 years time before they go public? Is there a way to sell you stake?

The biggest difference is you have to exercise your shares, as in buy them. Rsu is given to you for free minus taxes

I see. Will the purchase be at strike price or could thst be below that? Once you purchase, will you be able to sell it?

Also this begs the question if starts up are financially worth it? (Assuming you are not the founder)
