I wish I would have known about this back in 2011 when I joined my first California startup. While I did learn a lot on the job, the leadership team was very shady about the value of the company and the shares. I eventually ended up leaving and not exercising my options after the C-level execs were switched out 3 times in 6 months, but having this info would have been great to know.
