Explorative notes because this provoked some thoughts and opinions of my own.

1) Value them like a lottery ticket. Now what? They are worth nothing or something. You won't know until they are actually drawn in 4 years. Waiting is fun, right? You're happy to wait for your bonus?

2) Do you enjoy working there? Right now they are chains binding you to the business. Is that an issue? If you get bored and it becomes just a pay check, can you start a suitable side hustle so you stay awake?

3) They're worth nothing at all. The business goes bust in two years. What opportunity cost did you pay? What other actual paying positions did you pass up?

4) Is the business sane enough to last another 5 years? 6 years? Other than your salary, would you actually invest in the business if you could on the market? Are its fundamentals valid? Does it actually produce cash flow? It seems like it is progressing. You worm for them. Are they progressing in your perception? Could you convince me to invest? What would you say?
