wouldn't stay around too long after ipo unless company continues to excel and the talent doesn't go off a cliff. watch for key talent attrition.
the sweet spot coming from large companies is series c where you can get a large base, meaningful equity, and have a blast, with little risk comparable to series b or a.
the good (exciting) times might not last super long at that stage if the company is doing well, but usually correlates with an exit you can take part of literally
