The conversation around taxing RSUs and stock options has revealed something I'd always been curious about: Many people now believe equity positions in startups is a _bad_ thing
-
-
I’m confused. Would you never consider a startup offer financially competitive with (say) a Google offer?
-
Not if you're valuing it the same way a public company would. Options are forward-looking, so you're multiplying the eventual value of the options with the likelihood they'll get there.
-
In other words, I wouldn't value them as a public company would.
-
Of course, one might accept expected value is lower, but value the possible upside highly and prefer the startup offer.

Secondary shares are totally a thing, happens all the time
