Some of these are older references, but these contain information on stock options (Be forewarned that one needs to be very careful that one is comparing apples to apples when looking at this data or getting compensation benchmark information.):
- Brad Feld – on board compensation for directors (no cash for you early-stage directors)
- Ed Sim – on HBS compensation study
- Salary.com reference – here (one of the most detailed breakdowns I have seen on the net albeit potentially biased to include companies that have filed S-1s)
Other sources I have used for getting this information from: law firms, serial entrepreneurs, VCs, CFOs, other execs, and sometimes executive recruiters. Stock option compensation can be a bit of black art in my mind (as I mentioned in comment section of Brad’s post).
