I’m a new hire at MS just started recently. just wondering when is the best time to jump to another company. Since i need to stay for 2 years to get all of my signon, 3.5 years to get all of my stock. 3.5 years seems too long for me. How long do people usually stay in a company before they switch? for TC/wlb or whatever reasons? Thanks! stock is divided by 4. I get 25% every time after 0.5, 1.5, 2.5, 3.5 years TC 150k
When the next best opportunity for you comes along
Depends on ur refresher stocks. If u have growth trajectory (both learning and financial) then why do u have to leave! , other than ur wlb is screwed !!!
Day after orientation!
I left after 1.5, right after my second stock vest. They didn't ask for the remaining signing bonus left to be returned.
Oh really... I heard you have to stay two full years... where did you go? And are you happier now?
I'm at Google, and yes I'm happier now
Immediately
:(
Is a joke. But if you're having a terrible time, consider it. 3.5yr is shorter than virtually all 100% regular stock vests out there, (normally 4, outside of bonuses). I'd say stay where you are unless you're ready to embark on a bigger and better master plan (startups, or run your own?)
Wow, planing the exit after you just joined? There is something really broken in the world nowadays
Some opportunities only present themselves once. If you find something with a much higher TC and that you enjoy, just be egoist for once. What other people think of you does not matter, unless you have your own brand and are selling a product. Out of curiosity, did you happen to have your RSUs not vesting in August/September to have such a vesting schedule?
poll needs more options
Sorry. What do you suggest?
That you learn to recognize sarcasm....
