Many of my clients have equity compensation as part of their benefits packages. Since I've been seeing them more frequently I figured it’s something I should talk about. It’s not the simplest thing to make sense of so let's start breaking it down over the course of a “series” of episodes.

Equity compensation is a benefit an employee receives that is connected to their company stock. It can be private or public, but for most people, it is public. There are many forms but the most common I see are ESPPs, ISOs, RSUs, and RSAs. Listen to this episode to learn what all of these acronyms mean and enough of the basics to get you headed in the right direction.
