Unicorn status isn't everything - join a startup that solves an actual problem and runs a sustainable business otherwise the equity may not mean much.

Looking at how WeWork has gone, unicorn status and pre-IPO timeline doesn’t really mean much. The most important thing is 1) are they answering a real market need? 2) where are their revenue streams coming from? What are their major cost structures? 3) is the business model sustainable?

Are they public/will your equity be liquid in the foreseeable future?

They are pre-IPO but will be public soon, discussions are ongoing so yes I have faith it'll be liquid in near future

Check the overtime laws for your state!!

I just recently worked 58.6 hours in a week, weekly pay, nice OT profit right? Depends on where you live.

In Iowa, there is no Overtime pay mandate, the overtime pay is at the discretion of the business. I received 58.6 hours of base pay for the week.

If the company makes less than $1 million per year or does not engage in intercontinental sales, the company is not required to pay the overtime rate of time and a half, just your base rate.
