Before the S-1 drops
A pre-IPO advisor in Jersey City is busiest the 18 months before a liquidity event, not the week of. Moves that matter: 10b5-1 plan adoption during the last open window, exercising ISOs to start QSBS clocks and manage AMT, maxing the after-tax 401(k) while income is still at pre-IPO baseline, and setting aside liquidity for the tax year of the IPO.
Tender offers and secondaries
If your employer is running periodic tender offers, the decision isn't binary. Size the participation to reduce concentration without giving up too much upside if the IPO prices above the tender.
