> A lesson to be learned for anyone taking a job in a fast-growing company is to really think about the value that your specific job brings to the company.

Imo the issue usually is that interesting and value bringing work are usually not in alignment at these companies.

most companies i’ve worked at, no one wanted to work on ads and found them boring even though they brought in all the revenue.

everyone wanted to work on the experimental or shiny new thing which may not have demonstrated value yet.

but not sure if it’s worth working on the boring thing just for job safety

You're absolutely right, and it's worth thinking this through even before you take a job, if you have that luxury.
