Seems like every comment at this stage is about getting shafted when your startup gets an exit. Other than supposed the lack of politics and more bleeding edge tech - what is the point of working at a startup if you aren't looking for an exit? (Especially for early hires)

This is the unfortunate reality. I work for startup for the fast pace, everybody-gets-to-do-a-bit-of-everything environment, but I surrendered my hopes of making an exit a while back (after being burnt, like many here).

For most intent and purpose, the Exit is mostly a legend to get very cheap and motivated labor to join in, it's important to see beyond it.
