Why don't startups pay people in pure cash instead of illiquid options+cash? http://danluu.com/startup-options/ …

Here's a rebuttal article, but I think his assumptions (opportunity costs, etc) are wrong. https://www.benkuhn.net/optopt 

I think it's interesting, but the opportunity cost example is for a below market Google new grad offer where the new grad never gets a raise

I would be interested in seeing realistic numbers for the Google career path for comparison (possible, using Google comp spreadsheet).

I think the startup numbers are also not supposed to be realistic, but I'd like to see the realistic case!

The other thing is that the preface assumes that people don't know that you can quit, but I commonly hear people say they'll join N startups
