- zdgsg 8y agoWhoa. What position for bigco3? edit: yes, I was born after you had many years of work experience :)
- iykwimthrowaway 8y agoBasically what would be a 65 at bigco2 (MSFT) Note that options have turned out to be pretty mediocre on average for me. $400k over 9 years at MSFT was a significant chunk of compensation, but they weren't life-changing. It's possible that startup2 can still make me a bunch of money, because I own the stock and they're profitable, but I basically count the probability as 0. Get RSUs.
