“Because of the complexity of these compensation structures, I find that most people love the idea of having equity but do not understand it. With companies paying up to 50% of their employees total compensation package in equity, it’s important to understand what exactly is at stake when you decide to accept that job offer for “the next big thing.”

Dasarte Yarnway (@dasarteyarnway) is the founder of Berknell Financial group which is a fee-only financial planning firm headquartered in San Francisco. Dasarte is also the host of The Young Money Podcast. Tadas got Dasarte on the phone to talk about his newly published book Pay Me in Equity. In some industries, equity compensation is an important part of your pay package, so understanding the details is crucial. Beyond the financial aspects, ownership is an important concept that applies in different areas of our lives.
