What is the reason for an expiration so short (30 days) after you leave (or are terminated involuntarily)?<p>It would be so highly unfair that after joining as an early employee and getting somewhere around 1-2%, if you leave after 4-5 yrs, that all your options expire 30 days after. I understand you can execute them but circumstances or policies may be such that it may not be favorable to do so.<p>I&#x27;m starting to think equity is essentially a sucker&#x27;s game and you&#x27;d be stupid to play it and hope to win the lottery. A good salary and profit-sharing is just way better any day than the hope of overnight striking it rich one fine day.
