What are Employee Equity Options?
Employee stock options are a form of non-cash compensation that give you the right to buy a certain number of company shares at a specified price. This can equate to thousands of extra dollars over the life of your employment on top of your normal salary. Some of the bigger benefits offered as part of a financial compensation package are a 401(k), and stock options such as an RSU, ISO, RSA, or NSO. Nikita Turk and Andy Rosen share the key information you need to know so that you can choose the best stock options.
