I'm one of those non-connected people working non-stop nights and weekends on "startups". Switching to an industry that actually pays out according to the amount of work I would put in is interesting. I either haven't considered it or never really thought that type of industry existed (outside of something like sales). Also, I 100% agree. Employee equity is so small it's kind of insulting. The only time I took equity was b/c I was able to work with some semi-"famous" founders and hoped to at least to grow my network. I did grow it a little, and I might be able to tap into it at some point but the equity returned me exactly zilch.
