The gotcha with exercising early is you have less information about an illiquid asset. The longer you can wait, the more time you have to see if the company will succeed.
- tempsy 4y agoif you leave the company you get a refund for whatever it is you don’t vest. i feel like people who are acting like early exercise is money down a black hole aren’t aware that if the company is going nowhere you will probably know that long before 4 years, in which case if you leave you get a refund for unvested options. and even if you’ve vested shares you’re unsure about in many cases the company will offer to buyback shares. worst case it’s a write off against capital gains.
