Lots of haters on the part1 segment of this article wondering "wtf does this VP even do?!"

> I have friends who are line managers at larger companies who take home more than I do in my current role

I wonder if this is the "liquid" portion of Emily's comp. If it's the "total" comp then that tells me a VP Eng at a Series D startup makes < $400k all in??

startup equity is nothing more than a lottery ticket, unless there is robust secondary market for vested options (probably mostly applicable to unicorns)
I was one if them. This post is what I was looking for in part 1.
