If you work for a publicly listed company, and the company is doing well, max out your contribution for ESOPs, and negotiate hard for RSUs.
People who joined with me didn't even care about PYPL stock and didn't use 10% salary contribution to ESOPs.

For the first 3 years until 2017, PYPL was in a range of $30-45 (incl when it was eBay).
I maxed out my 10% contribution and also got RSUs.
My mistake was selling too early.
Those who maxed out, and held on, got an average price of $31-33. Look at PYPL today.

This is the case for FB, Amazon, Twitter, Uber employees also.
I advised a friend who works at Salesforce to load up on Uber, Salesforce, Amazon, Google, Disney, and Bitcoin (when it was <6k) in march lows.
Also advised friends in US to buy LEAPS.
Nobody listened. 😅

Uber was trading at 18 rupees. They thought with covid uncertainty, Uber's future is doomed since cab travel is not going to be as prevalent with lockdowns and sanitary concerns.
Today, all these stocks have rebounded.

If you work for such companies with wide moats, you're making a mistake not loading up on as much of your company shares as possible, especially if you're getting them cheaper.
So, next time you join such a company, don't forget to do this. Add more during bear markets.

Uber was trading at 18 dollars, not rupees. **
