50%? That's way better than any SV firm


It's not quite apples to apples. Bankers get paid way more (so they sell off less of their stock) and they are also often paid in RSUs or other forms of stock comp that can't be sold for several years. Tech workers are generally paid with stock that vests each year, and if they're smart they'll sell that down immediately (as they still generally have lots of future stock they're still exposed on, from a portfolio perspective.)


sell that down? What does that mean?
