- fragmede 2y agofair. the important thing here is that IPO is not the only way to liquidity for early employees
- robertlagrant 2y agoWell, I'm not sure it is. People are pretty aware of salaries already for example. This was about stock options specifically.
- fragmede 2y agoRight so for options, when the employee leaves the company, they can convert them to shares, and then there are ways for them to sell those shares somehow, and it results in cash money somewhere down the road that isn't just the salary.
