Unless the company is on the market for almost a decade now, shows steady growth and IPO might happen during the vesting period.
However I agree that most cases stock option is worthless in early ages, especially if it needs VC money to keep the ship from sinking.
- marssaxman 8y agoSure, but in that case you won't be receiving potentially-life-changing quantities of stock options, because it's already too close to being a sure thing. You're only going to strike it rich if you are one of the first handful of employees to receive options at a very early startup which later has a very successful exit, and you simply can't know in advance whether the startup you are thinking about joining will or won't be one of those.
