Good for them. And by "them" I mean the founders and investors. Employees may make some money if the company exits, but not much relative to time/sweat invest

Good for them. And by "them" I mean the founders and investors. Employees may make some money if the company exits, but not much relative to time/sweat investment, certainly several orders of magnitude lower than the guys up top, and probably comparable to or worse than FANG compensation (even disregarding RSUs). This isn't unique to DoorDash, but it's what comes to mind when a pre-exit company's valuation is being marketed in public. It's meant in part to entice eager recruits, but they don't realize that money is never meant for them.
