An Engineer’s guide to Stock Options
An Engineer’s guide to Stock Options
This guide is an attempt to correct some of the imbalance in information between companies and employees, and explain in plain English the whole stock option process. ​ Don’t be deceived if you’re offered a large number of shares without any mention of the number of shares currently outstanding. Many companies are reluctant to share this kind of information and claim it’s confidential. ​ The last thing worth mentioning here is that if you’re buying vested shares before you leave the company, than I strongly suggest you look into filing a “83(b) election”, which could significantly decrease the amount of tax you have to pay. A full explanation of 83(b) elections is a guide in itself, but essentially they let you pay all your tax liabilities for both vested and un-vested stock early, at the current 409A valuation (even if the valuation subsequently increases). ​ It’s much easier to find out the answers to these questions when you’re still at the company, so I suggest you get this information before you leave if at all possible.

CEO Coaches
“An athlete without a coach is incomplete. So, why don’t we think the same way about coaches for CEOs?” “Matt’s coaching methodology is to act as a shadow CEO one day a week, including sitting in on all the one-on-one meets with the senior team and on the leadership meeting. Matt’s initial focus was on improving my personal productivity with a set of tools like GTD and a series of audits of my time and processes.. Once I was convinced of the benefit, he moved his focus to my senior team and the rest of the organization.”
