My first equity experience is going to be RSUs. They seem better in every way: you don't owe taxes in cash (they're withheld), you can't go upside down (zero strike price), and you don't need capital to begin with so your compensation does not depend on how wealthy you already are.
Why would anyone take options if they could get RSUs?
