As a result, expectations can be mismatched - even though reasonable research should turn up this possibility. My experience suggests that a lot of folks in their early career are overly optimistic, or just don't want to believe the possible downsides, especially if it involves cool work. I also see different decisions taken by folks I know in other industry who are not under the spell of tech. With remote working, especially with smaller companies that have limited admin/HR support, I wonder will the number of these incidents increase? This is possibly another way to look at this situation beyond the "startups and stock a minefield" issue which results in lots of tears.
