If you want to save taxes on long-term capital gain, You can buy residential property.

This is provided you exercised the option by paying for the stock and held it atleast 1 year before the IPO. Otherwise it's short term capital gain.

@BusyBeanie68 Yet to exercise, plan is to sell 50% upon IPO and save 50% for long term.

If you worked for 6 years then, you vested all your initial stock + refreshers.

Man you won at the startup game

Once ESOPS converted to cash its better to divest. Just buy 50% index, 20% into debt such as FD and 20% to gold. 10% spend it on something youve wanted for a long time. If you’re into investing then can research and do stock investments
