Is there any way a pre-IPO startup can give equity without imposing a tax burden on employees?For instance, if an employees options vest, I believe they are required to pay taxes on the computed value of the shares. But in i.e a pre-seed company, there may be further dilution, so you end up paying tax on something that is lost in the end.

Actually, I'll be joining a startup-ish in about 1.5 months. I am an immigrant and this will be my first job out of school. What do you mean taxes are about to get complicated :eyes:
