Last time I had to do this was a startup. We all worked insane hours trying to get the product off the ground but then

  • layoffs just short of a year so can save on severance
  • unemployment lower than my current mortgage
  • paid money to buy out my options in case the company made it, but a couple weeks later they reissued them to zero

I assume this is what happens when you exercise stock options and so it's better to just look at them and think that they're interesting and that's about it
