Fair, this is also why I'm very leery of options in general. RSUs seem more financially complex for the company, but also more equitable for employees

It seems patently bullshit that early-stage employees, whose contributions are disproportionately large to the success of the company, are generally completely unrewarded on the equity side because of lack of liquidity, and cost of exercising options. It seems like a cheap way to cheat people out of what they rightfully earned.

Options are not bad if they didn't come with expiry dates. Especially the 90 days after not working expiry date.
