Despite reading many such articles there is one thing I have never understood. Under what circumstances it is NOT a good idea to exercises as soon as possible?

Only one scenario is where you have to pay a large sum for this early exercise and you see a risk that the company might go out of business. But in such cases if the amount is large you are probably at the wrong company in first place.
- spoonie 10y agoMy understanding is that you may have taken a lot of equity in exchange for salary, so much so that you literally can't afford to exercise any significant portion of the options.
- tn13 10y agoIn that case you have already taken crazy risk and if you still have doubts that company wont do well in future you should probably quit.
