As an aside, I’ve noticed an interesting approach at startup SaaS companies with engineers in particular: they negotiate some type of equity grant early early on, hang out for a couple years then bounce to the next place. Essentially, they view it like collecting lotto tickets in the hopes of an acquisition or IPO wherein they hold a big enough % and the market price vs. whatever they got it for at the strike price is substantially higher.

That’s one way to do it I suppose haha, never know when you’re working for the next Microsoft
