Pro Tips
The 83(b) Election: Always file within 30 days of grant. No exceptions. It can save you hundreds of thousands in taxes.
Cliff Period: Negotiate for shorter cliffs. Standard is 1 year, but 6 months is more employee-friendly.
Acceleration: Single-trigger is better for you. Double-trigger is standard for most companies.
Exercise Window: After leaving, you typically have 90 days to exercise. Mark your calendar!
