This. The second the company or the persons running the company make more money by burning the bridge with you, they will do so without hesitation.

I know some people who worked for a company which got acquired a while back. The CEO walked away with over $11 million. Every single other employee's stock was worthless (common vs preferred). He could have paid them all out 5 figures and still had millions left over for himself.

Not always, but on average this is common and I've experienced it at multiple independent start-ups throughout my career.

When you find a solid leader who isn't a sellout, I suggest sticking with them. They are an anomaly.
