I have to take the other side than most comments here. Most of the coverage about the Wiz offer called out that this was an odd way for them to end up in - as the founders openly talked about waiting for that $1b ARR since almost day one

To me it feels like Google was trying to put pressure on employees and any other non board option holders. There were dozens of articles and analysis of exactly bow many new millionaires / billionaires will be minted after the sale in Israel

That doesn't mean much. I've worked at a company that kept taking about "our goal is to reach magic number X" and etc. until one they announce a sale.

Situations change, business plans evolve, and money talks.
