Qapita ( ESOP management startup)

It's always something to look forward to in a startup. But wanting to know if it's actually meaningful. Are you making good money from it? Anybody around you who is making good money from it. This would really help a lot of us in startups know what to expect 🙏

Where did you work and how much money did you make? Asking as it looks like a lot of promise of ESOPs and wealth creation has failed employees in this bloodbath slow growth, layoffs, and job changes.

Haven't heard a lot about it, but I'm sure folks working there since 2017-18 or so would have made close to 3-4 Cr by now? did some mid-senior people retire from that money?

Is ZERODHA a good place to work? Hard to find people who work there directly

How is the culture Is the comp competitive Will they become profitable

Fast learning and fast paced growth aside, after 15 years of MNC experience I joined a startup to get some ESOPs.. and hopefully a good buyback .. I have worked in 2 startups now.Both of these were already Unicorns when I joined . While I love the culture and dynamic pace of a startup i feel my chances of getting a payout are slim... My personal learning is to get a good reward you have to be in top 10 employees for sure ... otherwise it's not worth it .. There is no point joining a Unicorn in middle management...or second in command in any function... Happy to hear your thoughts !
