tacos, I tried to point people to Scott Adams' financial advice for people in regular situations. People who have done well in a startup are often in California, so I wanted to make sure that I mentioned the tax advantages of municipal

Just to answer this thread: Google did a fantastic job of educating employees before the IPO. They brought in a ton of smart people to bring us up to speed, emphasize the need to diversify and minimize risk, etc. Honestly, I couldn't

Great point. I'd recommend the book "Consider your Options" when you're accepting a job with stock options: http://www.amazon.com/Consider-Your-Options-Equity-Compensat... It can be dense reading, but no
