Ask HN: My new employer have a stock options program, what should I know?

2 points by gdsdfe 7y ago ↗ HN

I've never been offered stock options before as part of compensation, I am not even sure how it really works ... Any advice, links, gotchas? stuff I should in the look out for or avoid? etc.

I’d highly recommend spending some time familiarizing yourself with what options are.

The best resource I’ve found so far that does that is this - https://www.holloway.com/g/equity-compensation

Good luck!
