I have a question. Are there any German laws or regulations that prohibit using startups from using stock options as part of total compensation? I thought I remembered hearing something about this once, namely that it wasn't possible in the same way it was possible in the US. Is there any truth to that?
- jlangenauer 8y agoNope, equity is pretty common here as part of comp packages.
- wink 8y agoI think the mentality in general is a lot more conservative, financially speaking. So also a lot of employees won't take stock options over a bigger pay. I also think most developers are not in the mood to live like people in SF do - just barely scraping by after accomodation and food. Most people here want to live a good life on their "developer salary" which is already pretty good for Germany in the most cases.
