Rather thin and worthless article, not really deserving of what looks to be on its way to a 100 comment article. Very first sentence: > People tend to underestimate the financial opportunity that startups represent for early employees. um, no, absolutely, emphatically not. This article is written by a person whose job is headhunting for startups. So off the bat, the bias is off the charts. It's exactly the opposite. People (employee candidates) tend to overestimate the financial opportunity, both in value and likelihood. > But being good at picking which startup to join as an employee means, in part, being as diligent as an investor. Diligent sure, but nowhere does the article explain such diligence, and anyway investor diligence is not anything like employee diligence. All the points have flaws, but one general theme stood out, that they are pushing equity vs salary.
