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.
