Missing are the zeros (and negatives)
- fatnoah 6y ago>We dove into major tech IPO’s since 2018 to find out. It also self-selects for "major" offerings as well. I'd be curious to see this table for ALL tech IPOs.
- seattle_spring 6y agoI don't think most people have the bandwidth to download a chart that reflects the employees who get screwed.
- parsley27 6y agoDo employees get screwed, or is it just that too many of us employees sign on and see the word equity and think that means we're suddenly co-founders?
- eloisant 6y agoWhen a founder tells you "the salary is low, but you get equity" he is screwing you. If you take a market salary, and see equity as what it is (a lottery ticket that might, maybe get you a few tens of grands) then it's fine.
- seattle_spring 6y agoDefinitely the former, unless you feel that only co-founders deserve market pay and equity that pays out at >$0. In many cases, employees even lose money because they have to exercise options with no insight into if they'll ever be worth a dime.
