That's what I thought. Public company stock is so much better than options. It's guaranteed income/value, unlike options, and when you leave you don't have to pay for them.

I took a “pay cut” moving to a public company, unless you discount the startup claims of value, as you should since a dollar of options is worth significantly less than a dollar of public stock, and financially much much better off

You're guaranteed to receive some stock. As for the value, that depends on the company performance. But yeah being public stock you know how.much is worth and you can actually sell it
