Most people don't even consider that. I think most people are spending most of the money they make.

- hallmark 17y agoTo continue with this line of thought, then, it would be better for retention to: a) Pay an employee $2 MM a year in salary and have them spend it along the way. Rather than: b) Give them stock that vests in 4 years - worth $5 MM - and have them feel abruptly wealthy and quit. I understand that startups usually give out equity because they don't have the cash to pay high salaries up front. But if a company does have the choice, it seems that a vesting period on equity is the common method for keeping an employee on the hook.
