- First outcome => Working for a startup is riskier than working for an established company.

- Second outcome => Do I want to work for a startup again in the future? No.

- Third outcome => If a startup is successful, the outcome is disproportionate between the founders and the employees. But, it if fails, we're all equally unemployed.

Do I really want to be an employee at a startup? nope.

I agree that working at a startup as employee number whatever is high risk/low reward (even when given equity). I would either start my own start up (high risk/high reward) or work for a larger established company (low risk/low reward).

Well that depends, if you have no dependents and some money in the bank you can take a risk by working in a startup, you get to learn so much.

yes, but we are talking about rewards. It's still high risk/low reward
