Okay, but if you are going to make that comparison, then why bother comparing trillion dollar profitable companies with a startup. The goal is to make people whole on paper. If you don't think that is appropriate for your needs, you don't have to apply or join!
- scarface74 4y agoI care about my compensation. I know working for a public company, every six months I get RSUs deposited in my brokerage account that I can (and do) immediately sell and diversify. How am I “made whole” by illiquid equity? In the case of a private company, I have no guarantee that my equity will ever be worth anything and I have to wait until an exit event. Yes I know that there are ways to sell options in private company if your company allows it and if there is a market for it. This again is unlike logging into Fidelity and selling my stocks the day they vest.
