Benefits could mean other things. Many of us will take less money for remote options or more say in product development. At my last company I left a few months before they sold. Been wondering if I made a mistake not buying my options. I was finally able to get the final selling price. It was half price per stock than the options were valued at. Looking back I made the right choice even thought it feels like I missed an opportunity.
