TAKING MONEY OFF THE TABLE

Summary from the TLDR newsletter

Employees who get compensated with shares sometimes have the opportunity to sell a portion of them, but it can be difficult to choose whether to sell or to roll the dice and risk it longer. They should take the money while it's available. The amount will likely be a life-changing amount of money, and there's never a guarantee that their startup will succeed, even if it is looking good right now. The money you take today can be invested in more steady growth.
