[Need help] I have 3 lakhs of Pine Labs ESOPs each year. Got this news yesterday where Neuberger berman has reduced Pine Labs valuation by 39%. Does this mean when I try to cash out 3 lakh ESOP, the actual value would be 39% lesser?

- looks like that's what it means.
- how will you cashout ESOP unless there's a buyback?

Recruiter has told me that investors of Pine Labs like Mastercard, SBI etc would buy ESOPs after an year I.e April 2024

That's just on paper. Just think of this. Why would an investor buy? He needs to make money. If he buys your share, who benefits? You. Not the company nor him

Are ESOP's real?
I have read somewhere that 90% of the People who receive ESOP are never able to benefit from it? (Company not doing well hence never able to sell it). Etc

How does equity works for founding engineer?
I got a offer where i will get the equity. Does people really make money when company get sold considering in my case if i get 1% equity.
Also how does it work? Suppose when we start valuation of the company is 1 cr so my part will be 1...

Does Pine Labs provide ESOP?
Can someone confirm this ? If yes can you say the minimum designation to get ESOP?
Thanks 👍
