I’m finally approaching the time I’ll be eligible to purchase stock options in my company. But now I’m worried about it since the stock market is crashing. Should I buy these options when they become available to me next month or should I pass on this round?

When in doubt, zoom out.

Look at the stock price over long-term (5+ years, if possible). Right now is typically a buying opportunity, but if the company is trending downward and you don’t have a lot of time before needing the funds, it might make sense to not buy.

Has anyone received equity as contingency comp? I have a potential client with a founders dispute. He doesn’t have cash, and the other founder ripped him off and is now running the company.
