Part of his argument here is stock is funny money. I think that is less true at FAANG today. You start vesting in a quarter, vest monthly after that, and RSUs are treated as income unlike options. Yes stock may change a bit but it’s more likely than not to stay within the 550-650k range. It’s not at all like illiquid startups.
