I'm in a bind right now. I'd like to leave Lyft to go work elsewhere but if I do and purchase my options my tax liability will bankrupt me.

Is there no company out there that will pay the AMT in exchange for a portion of the gains (plus principal)?

Since the company might not IPO for a couple years it'd be great to not to have to wait it out. I feel trapped right now and really want to move on to a new industry / startup.

Any advice would be really helpful.
