Dense, but essential if you work in the technology industry or anywhere stock options or RSUs are a component of your compensation.

Easy to read and thorough. Spends a lot more time on ISO than I needed, so I just skipped over several chapters.

I begin 2016 by geeking out on everything there is to know about startup equity. This book provide a slew of examples that clearly explain the myriad of situations you can be in when you accept equity as compensation.

I'm not a certified financial person, but feel great about my new wealth of knowledge after digesting the material in this book.

This is a dull arcane topic, but if you need to know about it, this is the book. Kaye Thomas is extremely clear. There are newer editions, though.

Sensible explanation how options and tax. Would recommend to anyone new to this form of compensation. Didn't teach me anything that changed my behaviour though.
