Hey Bryan, I enjoyed reading the cash compensation article, but I'm curious about how it meshes with your equity compensation? Is it awarded purely on when people joined? Does everyone who wasn't a founder get the same amount? It feels like you could run into much of the same problems the article points out about transparency and so on if the equity component isn't as straight-forward?



speaking as someone who dropped on the first round: for the nobodies like me, they say equity is based on time joining. it was early 2021 i think and amount already published on the job or mentioned pretty early (don't really recall)... and it was brutally low considering the pay cut. maybe they keep it to negotiate the somebodys.
