Most startups offer stock options.
Most public companies in certain industries (tech, some fortune 500) offer stock options and/or Restricted Stock units.
Not everyone qualifies, especially at more traditional companies where they are reserved for upper management.
You’d rather have RSUs than options. I work for a private startup and my 1 year cliff just ended… cost of the options @ strike price is like $20k… and who knows if they’ll ever actually be liquidable (and at a price higher than the current strike)
I am curious about this as well
What are you specifically referring to when you say "stock options"? Typically bigger public companies offer RSUs and some startups offer stock options at some strike price (I'm not too familiar with the latter).
Find a place that gives you RSUs & then allows you to purchase via ESPP (at 15% discount) - this way you really get stock if you want it
