Thanks! I don’t know if it helped, but during the in-house interview gauntlet I worked a couple of times in that I heard the company had a good stock options package and that it was especially attractive to me because I planned on raising their stocks way up per **dangerosa** ’s lectures. They really liked that…

Oops, I mean **Bill H.**. The mortgage vs. rent comparison got through to me big time. In any case, they’ve changed their vesting schedule from when my friend signed up in any case–you get a percentage fairly soon and more at regular intervals until you 100% of it within a few years. Pretty nice. Thanks once again, all…

Congratulations! And thanks for mentioning the outcome - always nice to hear something went well for a fellow Doper.

Now don’t get fired for surfing the SDMB at work. 😉
