Yes, you’re talking about a personal “payout” thats probably only 2-3 years of a salary? That’s not much of a “payout” that’s just a nicer severance package. If you built a company that wasn’t about to go under, it’s not worth handing it to some asshole for practically nothing
OK well you can hold onto your company and turn down millions of dollars. For the rest of us normal people that’s a life-changing amount of money.
Jesus what kind of job do you have where millions of dollars, let’s even be conservative and say 1-2, is 2-3 year’s salary? Most people don’t make $300k+ a year and that’s like…the floor of my theoretical.

Software engineers at FAANG companies easily make that amount. And that’s the caliber of engineer that is typically making this type of exit.
You’re commenting as if your circumstances are the same as a tech bro founder’s, which seems to be incorrect.
You have a very myopic view of how these things can play out.
