I have a question: I know for sure that my company is going to IPO this year and I plan to stick around to see it happen. By the time it happens I will have about 30% of my options vested which I could choose to exercise.

Is there any reason why it might be advantageous to exercise early? My current plan is just to see how the IPO goes and then consider exercising at that point - it means a lower risk for me because I'll know exactly what they're worth and if they're even worth buying.
