It was 10 person, but my point is people can still negotiate, even when they are young. And there is still a big gulf between a 300 person company (the startup I was at at its peak) and a 150,000+ person FAANG (where you will have less leverage as a non exec hire).

This depends entirely on their terms, how many potential hires read and care about their terms, what sort of talent they are looking for, and how attractive the position is.
Sure it's a hassle for the 3-person startup, but I imagine this is much harder with Big Co. where the hiring manager may ask legal to make changes for a great potential hire and legal tells them to take a hike.
> It is true that employees, especially lower-level employees, don't always have the leverage to change the contracts they sign (especially at larger companies)
Confused, so do you think this is practical for people or no? There are only so many 3-person startups to go around that would change any terms for anybody...
