Options Trading Tutorial

How much of stock options Google gives out to new employees?

What's the total market value of the initial grant (shares x grant price) at time you joined Google? $300K or $3M? I don't care about how many shares. It does not matter. I also heard of that 1/3 is in restricted stocks these days. Is that right? BW

1. It depends, if you joined now, not as much, but still a decent amount -- It depends on how long you work, your experience, and your position. If you were apart of google back when it started: http://query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=F40C1EFC395F0C728CDDAB0894DD404482
2. It dependes on your position and salary, but they are given to be vested in a couple of years.
