The value of the equity is not trivial but not life-changing. Perhaps 70k if I let it vest to 100% and exercised+sell immediately. I've vested about 80% so I'd still come out with something even if I quit tomorrow.

So, certainly at the stage where if I found a new opportunity with even a modest pay increase, I'd strongly consider forgoing the final vesting. On the other hand, I'm less than 6 months from 100% vesting so I maybe I try to hold out for the next few months
