When being awarded stock options, is the strike price negotiated or is it office at time of award?

It’s usually based on 409a FMV at time of grant - would ask for that detail for strike and last preferred price to evaluate value of the options

For VP level, if my total comp is $400K (base + bonus) is it reasonable to ask for $150K per year in options, one year vesting after first traunch and monthly after that with 10 year exercise

What stage is the start up? That’s more than reasonable - would even push for more

I literally just received and negotiated a VP level offer for a Series B startup. We landed at 0.33% equity vesting over four years

So not startup, but private $1B rev. The VP HR was calling RSUs "options", this we're now aligned and talking RSUs. Their policy is 5 year vest, 20% each year. Im asking for $275k base $125 bonus, and $200K per year in RSUs. I'll ask for 4 year vesting, 1 year cliff then monthly and see what happens. Doubt I'll get my vesting schedule.

I'll be VP Corp Dev, setting up that function, hiring, executing, etc.

For a non-startup that presumably does not have rocketship growth, you would want a much higher VP comp. more like 700-800k

Hi all.
Pretty disappointed now as my request for a counter offer revision in IBM has been rejected by the business team. I have an offer of 14.41 in a Big4(Fixed: 11,variable 3:41) & IBM is offering me Fixed 12.5(including retirals-13.31).

Sad part is they are considering only fixed part for revision & r saying that we r offering you more than ur fixed. They r saying u will get variable on top of this. In reality, IBM hardly gives any variable.
Guys, is there still a way to revise the offer?

Hello people,

Need some inputs!

When I file my ITR, it is auto-populating the 'income from other sources' by 40k and increasing my tax liability by 10k however form 26as shows no tax liability.

Should I edit the header to Rs. Xx which is below 10k hence tax exempted and stick to info as per 26AS?

Thanks a lot!
