Tech Equity Compensation Is a Specialist Financial Planning Area
Silicon Valley’s tech workforce receives significant compensation in the form of RSUs, ISOs, NSOs, and ESPP shares — each with different tax treatments, vesting schedules, and optimal exercise strategies. California’s 13.3% top marginal income tax rate makes the timing of equity decisions particularly consequential. A financial advisor who specialises in tech equity compensation will provide far better guidance than a generalist advisor unfamiliar with these instruments.
San Jose’s Extreme Property Values Create Complex Planning
San Jose has one of the highest median home prices in the US. For long-term homeowners, accumulated equity represents an enormous concentration of wealth that requires thoughtful planning around diversification, Prop 19 transfer rules, and 1031 exchange options. For buyers, navigating a market where starter homes routinely cost $1.5M+ requires careful mortgage planning and creative financing strategies.
