Fortunately I am tax resident in a country where I will pay taxes on my stock (options) no sooner (actually up to a year later) than when I make money off them with a simple CGT tax. Taxing options before they are exercised and before people made actual dollars off them is just crazy. Unless you are a founder, stock options is just a nice lottery ticket on top of your salary.
