They are only talking about investors who have first preference in any “success” of the company and they are usually well diversified and not depending on one successful exit. You as an employee get lower preferences and have all of your eggs in one basket.
Now given a choice, why would I work for a startup instead of a profitable FAAMG (not a typo) where I get RSUs or even a “second tier” profitable tech company like Salesforce, Adobe, Intel, Nvidia, etc. where at every vesting event I have the opportunity to immediately sell and diversify my risks? I don’t need to depend on the long term viability of my RSUs. Just the viability over the next six months?
