Netflix let's you have everything cash. Do other companies do this? Say you have a 500k Google/fb offer, half base, can you negotiate some of the stock into base? Or raise the signon and take it out of base? How much will they let you get away with?
It makes sense though. Imagine an employee who’s just fed up and hates the job and wants to leave. But wait, I don’t vest this next chunk of money for 3 more months. Fine, “I’ll do the bare minimum and just skate by until it vests”. Instead, Netflix says if you don’t want to stay, leave immediately, there’s nothing to vest so you don’t have employees waiting around for vest.
Implying that doing the bare minimum at Netflix will last a year
What? That’s not at all what I said. Re-read it.

Only Netflix. Because their philosophy is different, they don’t believe in golden handcuffs.
So the other offers are pretty much inflexible?
Base flexibility is realistically +/- 20K. Maybe more if you interview well. Companies are willing to negotiate more on deferred compensation because it hedges risk.
