Laid Off ISO vs. NSO Options
Hey all,
I was recently laid off from DataRobot. Womp womp.
Anyways, they gave me the option to extend all my ISOs excercise date for a year, but to do so they will be converted into NSOs.
Is the tax benefit really worth that much more that I should exercise them now? Could I potentially be missing something else?
- seattle_spring 7y agoIt depends on the spread between your exercise price and the fair market value, and if you own enough to trigger AMT.
- takklz 7y agoHmmm I suppose I should figure out the fair market value! (Is this even possible if they are private?). Thanks for the heads up.
- seattle_spring 7y agoYes, the company should be getting a regular 409A valuation. They should be willing to share this with you when you exercise shares.
