Now that I'm more than halfway through my working life, my walls are papered with worthless equity grants. I've never seen a penny and I'm under no illusions that I ever will. I no longer consider them at all when negotiating compensation. I interpret their very mention as a trick to get me to devalue myself.

That's different from a publicly traded company RSU, where on each vest date you are employed you will get a % of your initial grant (+ refreshers) - tax withholding distributed to your brokerage account.

It accounts for more than 50% of my total compensation.

How many of these grants were for RSUs in a publicly traded company?

startup equity grants are lottery tickets and must be treated as such. Public equity grants are as good as cash
