As someone who once had a lot of ISOs, I can tell you that is completely untrue in practice. 40% off of liquid RSUs is far preferable to AMT taxes on something

- tempsy 6y agoit depends on the situation. that’s why you early exercise when possible. if you’re going to wait to exercise after vesting and the out of pocket costs are too high to exercise then it doesn’t make as much sense. but with RSUs it’s just like income, which again isn’t a great tax treatment especially if you live in a state with state income taxes.
