A friend passed the interview and the company said to give options. Can you explain it briefly? It is a startup company with a market value of 100 million.

This shows that your friend is still highly valued by the company where he works. Nowadays, because of the competition of human resources, many excellent companies give their employees certain promises in the form of stocks and options, which is a way of human resources incentive.

Option is a kind of option, the right to convert a contract into company stock or other financial assets at an agreed time. All companies can make employee options, but compared with listed companies, non-listed companies can't get the market price of their own shares, and they lose an opportunity to make huge profits. This determines that this option can only share the company's dividends, and share the company's income according to the proportion of the company's shares you get. Relatively speaking, it is very positive to let employees share the company bonus.
