Four years to vest anywhere, what's the math to leave so early?

• SnorkelTan 1mo ago
  The vested shares are unlikely to be worth anything, so they are essentially just working for a salary.

    Outrageously untrue. So untrue there's a name for it.

      Perhaps everything is fine and this person and the bunch of other recent high profile OpenAI departures just really hate money.
      • browningstreet 1mo ago
        There’s a gulf of possibility between. I’m just disputing the idea they’re working only for paychecks because there are no secondary options for their vested stock.

    There's a fairly liquid secondary market for OpenAI stock - see: Forge, Hiive, EquityZen

      Doesn’t a sale require approval by OpenAI?

        Looks like you're right - I've only been on the buy side of this equation. The company has regular tender offers but that's significantly less liquid than my earlier comment implied.
