Stock options are a valuable benefit for employees, especially with anticipated tech IPOs in 2024 featuring companies like Discord, Reddit, Chime, Stripe, and Klarna. Employees are urged to understand and exercise their stock options, which can be facilitated by organizations like the ESO Fund. These options are critical as companies near IPO, but exercising them can come with significant tax implications, such as Alternative Minimum Tax liabilities. Proper education and planning can help individuals navigate these complexities and maximize their benefits.
