Both correct statements, but apples and oranges.
- hn_throwaway_99 7y agoBut for an engineer they are comparable, because many are deciding between the two. So do you want the bucket of beautiful, fresh Honey Crisps, or 3 month old moldy juice oranges?
- jiveturkey 7y agoIf you are deciding between the two, you are deciding the wrong thing. You should go to an early startup (ISOs) if that's the environment you want to work in. You should go to a public company or late stage startup (RSUs) if instead you prefer that environment. The choice between ISOs and RSUs shouldn't be a factor that you are deciding on; it comes with the territory for the job you are seeking, based on other factors.
