Founders are not even giving enough equity for employees to match the income they lose not working for big tech. Its common to still make less on equity + salary after a successful exit compared to the yearly total compensation at big tech.
- KoftaBob 7y agoFair point. However another selling point of working at a startup vs a big company is the impact you get to have on a product. Being able to say you were one of 5 people that built out a core feature of Uber in its early days is immensely valuable for career trajectory. Once a company is large, it's hard to have that level of impact until you're a director/vp/etc.
