Of course, there are many other people in exactly the same situation who end up with nothing at all because they guessed on the wrong startup to work for.

Are we talking about Stripe? Or you like to vent about startups in general?

If this is just about startups in general, I fully agree. I didn't know we have moved on to a new topic but ok.

I was responding to the parent thread regarding Stripe being a cult. No other cults pay most of their members in millions of dollars.

The point is that getting paid that much is, for the average employee, purely a lucky result of having happened to choose the company that succeeded.

Sure, so it is not related to stripe.

I totally agree with you. Bad luck and/or choosing bad company would get you in a bad situation. Water is also wet.
