Would I be willing to invest any of the surplus cash I would get from a FANG-style salary in something as risky a startup? Definitely not. Just considering stock options as a cash investment (as opportunity cost) drives me so hard towards not taking them it's silly.
Of course I would have an information advantage as an employee, and also perhaps a possibility to slightly effect the outcome. But at the same time I'm locked up at the startup, and putting my salary and equity in the same basket.
