Attention is your scarcest resource

Can you not exercise what you’ve vested and move on to a more reasonable org?

Nothing has vested yet, nor will it until the company does an IPO. No IPO is planned. It's a 10 year old company, but only just raised its first round last year. In the old days, we were forced to survive on revenue generated from B2B sales, which was honestly not too bad.

My employee number is under 25, but it's still just pretend equity at this point.

Seems like you're labouring under false pretenses then.

A. What is the value of your equity?

B. What is the likelihood of it vesting in the next 5 years?

C. How much "total benefit" (salary increase, stress decrease, etc) would you gain from moving to a different company over the next 5 years?

If A*B < C, move.

Heck, even 5 years might be too long of a consideration here.
