And by actual exit plan I mean an IPO, or a multi billion dollar acquisition if that doesn’t work out.
I worked at a unicorn once and it worked out well. Most of the employees who joined pre to just around unicorn status walked away with 8-25x or more return.

It is the hirer's job to sell this too. Engineers will always do the math and they'll do it conservatively.
