I joined my present company a year back, my peer has been here for 5 years and holds RSU's amounting to 1.5 crores (Share value got 4x in 5 years).
If it's a startup with flawed biz model like Byju and vss then jump the boat.
Else, if in a listed firm with ebitda positive stick and book profits
I didn’t get substantial wealth since I was with the company for 1.5 years. I got around 6.5 lakhs after taxes deduction. But some of the older employees got 50 lakhs plus after taxes, and few above Cr. I sold half of my vested units.
Currently, though the startups valuation have decreased and I don’t think I will be getting any value for the remaining ones.
If there is a buyback event, do try to sell some of your vested units.
If the startup is generating profits, profits increasing and have a good MOAT then, it’s better to hold the units, but definitely do your analysis.
Where did you work and how much money did you make?
Asking as it looks like a lot of promise of ESOPs and wealth creation has failed employees in this bloodbath slow growth, layoffs, and job changes.
I have had ESOPS in 2 companies #1 - company got acquired ..I got 45 Lacs IN ESOP ...thats 1.5X of my last annualize...
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 rat...
How many real startup or companies were able to convert esops to RSU or real money? Can anyone share their success stories for wealth creation.
