On: We need to rethink employee compensation

I think it depends on the risk. Getting hired at #24 might be a much less risky proposition than number 10 or 15.

Assume we're talking about a senior developer and come up with math that reasonably gets #24 above 100 basis points. It's not impossible, but it's pretty tricky.

Remember, in a lot of companies, the founders are diluted way back below 10%.
