- 3 year RSU schedule for Mortgage My lender told me they need the RSU grant schedule for the next 3 years.

Has anyone here had this issue with t
- vote Which vesting mode do you prefer for your next offer? Google and Uber have started offering front loaded vesting where roughly 2/3rds of the initial grant vests in the first two years.

- Blind's Google Manifesto poll It's interesting that even though Uber is at the top of that list, it's the only company there that has publicly stated that it's achieved equal pay for women.
