What does “whether it’s worth it right now” mean? As in, whether companies are really worth as much as they’re valued?

If you're getting paid (or have historically been like at FAANG) a significant amount in stock, you've been willing to put up with 50+ hour work weeks and crazy management schedules. If there are layoffs, management reorgs, and very high PE ratios for slow growing companies, maybe it's a good time to take a break.
