Apologize if this is inappropriate for this sub. If so and you know where I should ask such a question kindly point me in that direction.
My work gives me stock options. Remedial understanding is that that means I have the right at a certain point to buy stocks from my work (after they vest?). It appears I am in a vesting window. My question is why are only seemingly some of the options available to vest? Also, if I choose to vest them are there tax implications such as I’ll owe taxes as soon as I purchase them? I would think taxes doesn’t come into play until I choose to sell but I know close to nothing on this topic.
Also, is there ever a reason not to vest stock options? It appears I would pay per stock less than there actual worth.
Appreciate any help. I’m in over my head.
