Totally, anyone counting non-public equity toward their total comp is deluding themselves.
Including the private companies trying to spin it as compensation. They are lottery tickets, barely worth anything.

Sure. Anyone want to purchase my vested Series A company RSUs?
Lets be fair -- FAANG isnt complaining about lack of talent -- mostly smaller pre-IPO or early stage firms are complaining, which is why my original comment noted "non-public companies". Your view is correct only for public companies and a handful of private companies which have an active market to liquidate stock and options.
