Cover consequences of leaving after early exercise before fully vested

alokmenghrajani opened this issue · comments

It might be worth noting that a company has the right to repurchase unvested shared if you early exercise and quit/get fired but that they won't refund any taxes paid. While early exercising can reduce your tax burden it can also increase it.

Yes, agreed! We should add a point clarifying that.

Expanding this to also cover the fact that the company will typically repurchase early exercised but unvested shares.
