Rule #37 for becoming a better business person: Don't donate tens of thousands of dollars a year in charity to millionaires and billionaires.

When one works for substantially below-market salary and flimsy equity, that's often essentially what he is doing.

I don't really know anyone aside from founders and first hires that take a pay hit to go work at a startup, most of my friends, and myself, make fair market salaries, but the learning opportunities are massive compared to the corporate alternatives.
