The problem is that, while my current startup is "imaginary" money compared to RSUs, the business is going very strong, we have multi million dollar yearly revenues so I'm not at a point where I consider the options as a huge gamble. It's very likely that they will retain a significant value.
Also notice that RSUs are 300k over 4 years, so effectively 75k a year: is 75k a year "extremely high"? I was under the impression that several employees at google and similar usually double their yearly compensation with RSUs, every year, which means RSU grant = 4*base salary (e.g. 350k a year total comp)
