Just accepted a job at Big 4. How restrictive is owning individual stocks? Is it even worth trying? Been debating just selling all individual stocks and just buying VTI/VOO.

I sold all my individual stocks and bought VOO. Didn’t want to put the time and effort into making sure everything was cleared.

However, there is little to no learning and its very slow, the project is just starting and the client itself is not clear what they want. Do you think I should switch just because its a big 4. Please help me decide. Yoe -3.5

I just left my pre-seed startup that was running out of cash (we made $100,000 in revenue this year, and sunk $1m in costs). I was making $40,000 as a developer (plus 20k stock options at $1/share per year) and they refused to pay me any more money. I have 17,000 vested stock options, total number of shares at the time of my contract was 4million. I’m a bit confused about share dilution and if it’s worth it for me to buy some of my stock options… thanks in adv!
