I have around 2 years of experience. 1) 10 months in pervious company with 6 month internship and 4 month full time. 2) 1 year 1 month in current company. I recently applied for a company and was offered an MTS role. ( 18 cash, 50 private RSUs + additional benefits) Total CTC is approximately 34 LPA The offer sounds overwhelmingly good based on current market standards but when I checked company’s stock price in secondary markets, they are worth less than 50% of what was quoted by the recruiter. Right now I am a bit skeptical on the stock price as the company has not yet gone public but they plan to in next couple of years. Not sharing company and personal details for obvious reasons.

How does anyone determine the value of a stock? Is everyone just looking at Comparables? And setting a base line?

Hi All , I'm from finance background , currently working in Service Management in IT. I need a mentor to learn Valuation and Financial modeling ( DCF, M&A Model ) Searching for a career in Investment banking on above roles. Can someone help me out with learning. Thanks.

I have some vested ESOPs. I want to buy the shares from a private company that granted the ESOPs. The ESOPs grant letter is paper based on company letter head. I wanted to exercise my partially vested options, I wanted to know a few things. Could the company play any delay tactics? Let us say I email them Today. What's ideally be the tentative timeline to excercise the options, given I have money to buy and hold the stock. If the valuation at moment is unknown, could it be bought at last known valuation?

I am at a VC backed early stage startup. Have been offered Esops.l but have no clue on this. Can somebody explain to me how can I make money from ESOP by answering these- 1) Do I have to buy them post vesting period? If yes, what amount do I need to pay? Also will there be text on this purchase itself? 2)) When the company buys back from me assuming my vesting was over and I could hold them on, what's the amount I will get? I am assuming it's (no of options * current share price) - (no of options * strike price issued to me). Is that correct? If yes, how is the current share price calculated for non listed company? 3) Now when the company buys these, what's the tax I have to pay? I am trying to understand if availing options and selling options are different and if both have taxes 4) What happens in IPO? Who buys from me? Where can I sell? What price do I sell at?

Which stocks according to you are undervalued and why(Ind and US stocks) For me - Meta, Weibo and alibaba are significantly undervalued.(All US listed)

I have recently left Tekion and was considering executing my ESOPs. For executing my ESOPs I need to pay around $3.5 per esop to the company. Should I convert my esops to equity? Am looking for some advice from the folks who might have done this in the past.
