In the last five years, NVIDIA has seen remarkable growth, significantly boosting the wealth of its employees as the company’s stock soared by about 3,000%.
For example, consider a product manager who joined NVIDIA five years ago with a mid-level position and received an annual stock grant of $77,000. Today, that grant would be valued at approximately $10.6 million.
Likewise, a senior software engineer who was granted $102,000 worth of stock annually could now be holding stocks valued at around $14.8 million.
Even a junior marketer who received an annual stock grant of $31,000 would now find their original grant valued at about $4.5 million.
NVIDIA’s remarkable success highlights how stock options can profoundly impact the wealth of employees in a thriving technology company.
