No rsus in unlisted companies. Only esops

Not always. RSUs are basically with ESOPs at 0 strike price. I got RSUs from flipkart 2 years back.

Software Developer

If you have a strike price it's called an option. Esop is not given at 0 strike price. It could be low but never zero

ESOPs vs RSUs

Product Owner

Please share how your company esop policy is. Is it really valuable for employees or just used to create hype and retail talent. 
How many years can you exercise them after resignation?
How did the taxation go if someone has been lucky enough to convert it to cash?
Should esops be a factor while leaving current company or joining a new company?

Are ESOPS really worth it? Has anyone built considerable wealth through it? Share experience.

Employees  @Flipkart are set to receive a one-time cash payout from a $700 Mn employee stock option plan (ESOP) buyback. ⁠

Flipkart esop buyback? Did anyone got to be a millionaire?

Growth Manager

Consider this scenario:

A well established publicly trading company is giving you $45000 (120 units) worth of RSUs, with vesting schedule of 4 years. The work culture seems stressful (asked from ex employees) and they have a 4 day work from office where they track your badge attendence. 

And a Series B startup is giving you $45000 (9000 units) worth of ESOPs with vesting schedule of 4 years. It has scope to go for Series C and D fundings and even IPO in 4-5 years. The company is flexible in remote/office setting and has some perks like: once a quarter a selected Monday will be holiday, yearly offsite to exotic places.

Which one would you prefer RSUs or ESOPs? and why? Kindly explain why your preferences.

ESOPs or RSUs? Which would you choose?

Hi Folks,

Can you help me with the difference between RSU and ESOPS ?

I'll share my understanding, requesting the community to help as well.


Assumption for comparison:

₹/$ 100,000 worth of RSU vs ESOPS vested of 4 years equal distribution from 1st Jan 2024.

RSU:
Since these are given for listed orgs,
₹/$ 25,000 worth of stocks are vested every year starting 1st Jan 2025 , 1st Jan 2026,1st Jan 2027 ,1st Jan 2028.


ESOPS:
What happens on 1st Jan 2025 ?
Does the employee need to buy stock options worth ₹/$ 25,000 from his own pocket.
( I know they are given based on current valuation divided by number of shares plus some discount and FMV Stuff)


Main point here is , incase of ESOPS whatever is stated at a part of compensation, employee need to shell out of his pocket?

Is there anything I'm missing?

RSU v/s ESOPS

Can I ask for ESOP , if get placed in MNC ?

What are the ways to reduce the stock price of a private company before it goes for IPO?

Example:

Let's say the stock price of a private company is Rs 8000 with a face value of Rs 10. So one way here is to split the stock in a 1:10 ratio making the stock price Rs 800 which might make it easier for growth of the company

Another way I'm aware is to issue bonus shares to the employees which would reduce the stock price

What other ways are there?

I'm looking for answers where there are benefits to employees and where there aren't

Live AMA: Hey everyone, I'm Kashish, CEO of EquityList. Ask me anything!

What’s the advantage of RSUs over ESOPs? Is it RSU that’s more lucrative as I always had ESOPs that didn’t materialise into anything :-(.

I am getting offered a 10L Esops for example, does that  simply mean i need to pay some amount  to get shares worth 10L of company at Actual Market Price?

I have got only RSUs until now so now idea how world of esops work and are they actual money?

Like If i’m at 40 CTC fixed and getting offer 48 fixed + 8L esops, am i getting 20% increment or 40% increment?

Explain Me like I’m 5 : What are ESOPs?

Let's assume youre stepping into your 5th grade. Parents tell you that they have 10 chocolates in the fridge and if you complete all the homework, pass exams with distinction and make them proud, they will give 10 chocolates and also extra.  
  
 So you work your ass off and kill your homework and exams. 
  
 If you have good parents, they will give you 2 chocolates per milestone [ESOPs buyback].  
  
 If you have good and rich parents, they will do as promised [company going IPO]. 
  
 Very common scenario - If you have bad parents, they will continue promising the existence of chocolates to motivate you but in reality there are no chocolates [company not doing buyback nor going IPO. ESOPs are just paper money with no value].
