Left before the first year. Company was acquired later. The payout is engineers got to keep their job.
#2 Multinational:
The stock option I was granted once valued 500k at the peak of dotcom bloom. In the short window before the crash I've cashed out about 40k. It goes toward the down payment of the house. This might turn out to be the best financial gain thus far.
#3 startup:
The firm has over 100M VC funding and 300 employee when I join. My stock valued above 100k at acquisition. It has shrink about 25% when they are fully vested.
#4 startup (current):
I took about 25% pay cut to join this startup. If the stock makes the same money as startup #3 I will about break even. Financial aside I'm quite happy working here.
