I've currently got around 60 days to exercise some options with a company. But I have not been told how many shares there are out there or anything about the company finances so I have no way to judge how much they might be worth even in the best case.
In the end though the amount that I can buy is so low that even if they are worth 10x what I'm paying for them it is not worth the paperwork and trouble.
- ewindisch 11y agoThe easiest thing to do is find out what the current strike price is and compare it to the strike price of your options. This will tell you ONE key metric for determining the stock's value and will help assist in estimating your tax liability. The same is true at time of negotiation. You don't really need to know how many shares are outstanding if you have the strike price and an estimate for the company's growth. That is, you're investing $X dollars and expect it to raise by a multiple of Y.
