Here's what I don't understand about your post

"take your stock options with you" doesn't make sense to me.

Usually you vest monthly, and you can pull the trigger any time and execute(you write your company a check and buy the vested shares at the option prices). When you quit, and your company isn't public, you usually have 90 days to execute or forfeit. It can put you in a huge pickle if your company isn't public, which I wont' go into.

When you say "take them with you", what do you mean? Do you mean, not have to exercise indefinitely, or something else?
