I can think of many counter examples too. Say, Netflix, Arista Networks, Google, Facebooks, and etc. I guess the key is to pick a good company instead of avoiding options. And of course, leave a company immediately if it shows fundamentally bad signs.

The key at this point is to pick a good public company (except Beyond Meat that is highly overvalued compared to half year ago). In that case it doesn't matter that much if you're getting options or cash.

I don't see any reason for working for overvalued options at a not-early-stage private company. Also I view being an early stage employee too risky to worth it.
