re: Lower salary w/stock options versus higher salary no stock options

Its 100 SARs. That vest 25% per year. Also 50 restricted shares that don't vest until 5 years. Then there is also the espp voluntary stock with a max 10k contribution. This happens twice a year with a 15%discount. Once espp is bought and awarded to employee you can sell it that day for profit or hold on to it.
Thats basically whats being offered stock wise. Also a signing bonus which is nice.
Current company has slightly better benefits but its nit picky. Has a higher match on retirement 9% vrs 6%. But has no stock options. Basically its take a 400 a month pay cut for the stock options above. Just confused on if this would basically balance itself out i.e. making up that 5 k in stocks every year.

I'd take the cash. You'd have to stay with the company for 4 years to get all of those 100 SAR's, and 5 years to get the other 50. It's great to think you will be with the company for that long, but in this day and age, I don't think it's realistic.
Plus, you could use the additional salary to buy more in the ESPP.
And as everyone mentioned, stocks are hinged on the entire company's performance, not your personal performance, so there is much more risk involved here.
