I learned long ago that the most successful tech company I know is probably not the one I work for. Also that layoffs tend to follow drops in the stock price.

I don’t buy shares on margin, so why would I want my nest egg invested in the company I work for? If I get laid off I’m poor twice over.

That's a great argument for working somewhere where the equity is liquid IMO. You can just sell public company RSU's as they vest and put them wherever else to diversify.

Yes, I sell everything on vest and save/invest the money instead.
