I remember when my old employer was doing another round of funding

They offered to sell me more shares

I countered that I'd been trying to dump the shares they already gave me and if the shares are truly worth X dollars they should buy them back from me

Anyway glad I quit

I always offer companies pushing equity hard to trade for cash at 10% of the highest number they try to get me to value it at. Nobody has ever taken me up on it, even when they really should have.
