Working for a startup makes less sense, unless you are into the mission

I am the OP.

I think it was because I was an overseas employee and the founders just didn't shell out equity to people who were not based out of US. I saw the equity distribution sheet that was disclosed after the acquisition as part of legal requirements and that was indeed true.

IMO, equity represents ownership in the company and should not depend on purchase parity.

I think you should've mentioned this in your blog post, especially if you're comparing the money you've made from equity to new college grad salary at Facebook

Isn't that illegal ?

Why would it be illegal?
