Equity vesting - negotiable?

Everything is negotiable if you are valuable enough. I suspect that if you are asking this question on Blind you don’t have enough experience or expertise that would drive a company to make an exception for you. Additionally stock vesting is, in part, a way to keep you at the company. If you are asking to vest in a faster schedule it looks like you already have one foot out the door.

At Google, I think the schedule is not negotiable (it’s monthly assuming you have enough shares), but you can negotiate part of the stock grant to e.g. vest in two years instead of four.

In my experience beating schedules are non negotiable. Would be a nightmare to manage if everyone vested differently.
