or you could just sell and take the $900k or so, and plop it into some PE funds where you’ll be a preferred investor in a variety of high quality, lower valued, offerings and don't have to waste a decade of your life on the graciousness of one employer’s management and prospects

fingers crossed. don't forget to buy some of the S&P too.
