- nine_k 4y agoTrying to work for actually profitable companies should help! (No, haven't seen any profit from any options yet. I usually negotiate for mor cash when I can.)
- donkeyd 4y agoYup. Working for early stage start-ups is like entering a lottery that sells incredibly expensive tickets. Sure, you might get really rich some day, but there's a much bigger chance you miss out on wages and spend more than 40 hours a week working with no payday ever. People should really be more aware of this, but as usual, everyone only focuses on the winners.
- nine_k 4y agoIt also puts you in various positions to which you'd have to grow for years and years in large companies, gives you a ton of interesting experience. (Then you go and apply it elsewhere, for a larger salary and RSUs that actually are worth something on the market.)
