Robinhood? Otherwise stay away from startups unless you get 1+% equity and you have a strong connection with founders. A simple math proves a TC of 300-500K at FAANG is better off than almost all of startup employees.
Getting a 1% plus equity is very difficult. Also if you want such equity, you have to join at a stage when the startup is very nascent & you probably won't know how things are gonna go. Also isn't there an upside if the startup does well in the long term while FAANG may not offer as much?
Of course I know 1% equity is super rare. That's why a TC of 300-500K at FAANG is just better. You need to multiply the expected succss rate for startup. Unfortunately the rate is now close to zero. Your startup needs to be sold or IPOed at a couple of billion dollars. Worse story? Housing price keeps going up. If you don't own a house in Bay, it is worse to join a startup with 0.1 % equity.
Probably my own and that’s about it
Was this intentionally trolling?
