[lbo-talk] Stock options

[Bitch | Lab]

OK. So, maybe we'll work out a deal with a company to get paid our floor 
rate -- that's the rate below which we're not making enough to make it 
worth our time -- and get the rest in stock options.

since making our floor rate is better than no rate, okeydoke. Plus, this is 
for a one-time only small project and then we'd move forward to get paid 
the market rate for the services.

What are stock options. You get stock in the company and then cross your 
fingers that the price goes up in value. Bitch is always one to figure that 
the stocks will _fall_ in value with her luck, though.

So, would you negotiate something like this: instead getting stock options 
that would raise the rate up to market level, get stock options that would 
raise your rate up more than that?

This would be for a company, btw, that Michael Perelman would love. :)
