Howdy hey friends!
New job, so it's time for me to pick how my stock grant is to be disbursed.
I have been granted $100,000 as RSU and Options.
At my company's stock price (average of my month of hire: $753) I am looking at about 133 shares or so. Or I can go for the options instead at a 1:3 ratio. So 400 contracts or so. There’s also rumor of a 1:3 stock split incoming. But ya know. Rumors.
Vesting is :
Year 1: 25% and 6.25% every Quarter afterward.
Can someone help me do the math to determine what the optimal gains option would be? I can do 100% RSU or Options or 50/50.
I don't think I'll be here all 4-years, but I do want that 1st-year bonus (combined with my savings) to be my house downpayment. I don't depend on the money though, so I'm a bit more open to risks.
In terms of growth and company outlook: my company is a bit controversial, so the stock fluctuates quite a bit, but its finances are really good and our product is #1 in the field. I don't think they're going anywhere anytime fast, and from light market research, it seems most investors are targeting $1200-1300 in a couple of years.
Thanks!
