It’s a scam most of the time to not pay out bonuses to the employees. If there is an exit op, it could be lucrative but if there is no chance, then it’s Monopoly money.
Great points, thanks for your insight
I would just be careful with that. I have seen people make a ton of money from stock options but I have also seen the opposite. Definitely try to negotiate a higher base salary.
Yeah it seems risky to me
It’s normal for smaller companies to give those stock options because they are using the majority of their capital to run and grow the business. They could be worthless, or they could be a huge windfall. If the rest of the offer and compensation don’t work, I wouldn’t let that be the deciding factor.
Oh this is a great point! I didn’t think about that before
Pro
If you see there is potential of it going IPO, then it would be worth it. If not, then I would tell your husband to reevaluate and try to find another job if the salary isn’t at least at market level
