I work for a startup where employees are paid performance-based bonuses at year end. Apparently I've killed it last year (yay me!) so management offered me a significant amount of cash as a bonus.

Icing on the cake is that they allow me to convert this cash to stock options. The options are struck about 20% below value of stock.

My question is this: do I take any options or not? I can definitely use the cash. Working like I have these past few years, I have no money in the bank and live paycheck to paycheck. The bonus, though not huge, would give me at least a few months of rent & basic expenses in case I lose my job or the company goes belly up.

A safety net is important to me because I have a wife and daughter to feed. If something were to happen to my ability to make money, they'd end up on the street.

Thanks a bunch folks.","time":1364848615,"title":"Ask HN: Are stock options as bonus worth anything?","type":"story","url":""}],[5488264,{"by":"JHof","descendants":6,"id":5488264,"kids":[5489022,5492041],"score":4,"text":"As a 30 year old career-changer, would you keep your current job and pursue an online CS degree (Oregon State) while learning to code on the side or go to one of the developer boot camps?
