The hiring managers / founders equating the stock options to real money is actually a red flag to me.
It’s super unlikely that a cash-out event ever happens for a startup, so until then, it’s just fake money to me.
And I say this having owned and exited my own 8-employee startup and continued to work for startups for the last 15 years. I work for cash, not imaginary future profits.
