Diversification is the #1 rule of passive investing.

When you're working at a company you'll have access to all sorts of insider information, which you could use to make some informed large bets.

Also note that at a startup "equity" usually really means "options on equity" (unless you're a founder), so you actually can work somewhere for a bit before deciding to take a position that might not be optimal from a diversification perspective.
