While it is helpful to have an empirical estimation of option value, I think it is a mistake for a job candidate to translate a compensation offer with a black-and-white tone: "50bp? Oh that means $33k". I ask myself how strong I think the business is, since 50bp in a weak business is probably worthless whereas 50bp in a strong business is probably worth a heck of lot.
