So which is right? I got an job offer at a public company today that comes with stock options. They said the value would be $5000 but when reading the offer letter they gave a specific number of shares. Now those shares multiplied by the current stock price is about $10,000.

Sso am I getting 5k or what?

EY1, that is how I understood it too.

I have a really dumb idea but hear me out… why don’t you just ask the person who issued you the letter?

Becuase "oh thank you for pointing that out, we meant to give you half" doesn't seem like a good idea

If offer said value would be $5000 they likely weren’t referring to the actual number of shares. For example, if stock price on date of grant was $10 they would issue an option for 500 shares.

As I said in my OP, the offer letter said a specific number of shares

An agency I freelance for wants to hire me full-time. They told me for a Sr Copywriter, 100-110k. I countered with 125-150.

I also said I'm interested in a higher-level title - I currently freelance as a Creative Director of Copy elsewhere (they don't have that title at this agency.)

They came back and said yes to the title and to 125, with a 6 month review that could raise it to 145.

Which is good for Sr Copy, but low for CD/ACD level. Don't want to screw myself over. What to say now?

I'm almost done with my master's and right now we are discussing the knowledge gap that happens in 4th grade with our lower-class students. They know or have the skills for how to read (for the most part) but seem not to be able to comprehend what they are reading due to the fact that they don't have background knowledge like their upper-class peers - which is due to life experiences. Have you noticed this in your classes? I have but didn't realize why it was so hard to catch them up.
