US workplace terms
ISOs and NSOs
The two types of US employee stock options. Incentive stock options (ISOs) can get better tax treatment; non-qualified stock options (NSOs) are simpler but taxed less kindly.
A plain-English explanation of how this usually works in the US, not legal, tax or financial advice. Rules differ between states and change over time, so check your own situation. Disclaimer.
You'll hear it as
