- f6v 4y agoYes, don’t be fooled by private company valuation.
- frollo 4y agoIt also depends a lot on the person. Like, I totally refuse equities as a compensation and thus would not consider any job with a salary under my minimum, even if the equities would bring the total compensation to an extremely high value.
