RSU
- Amazon RSU If Amazon stock tanks, will Amazon grant additional RSU to meet my target comp?
- Ask for more rsu I was a recent hire in salesforce and I’m hiring for my team. I noticed that my hire is receiving a lot more rsu to match her current comp. She is coming in a lower level than me. Should I reach out to my manager later and ask to increase my rsu? Can he do this without promotion? PS: Some comments
- Amazon TC -RSU Calculation I am wondering how recruiter came with total comp for first year. They quoted it as CAD300k based on 5% RSU for first year. I was given 70 RSU so that means 3.5 the first year. Base 160k, first year bonus 125K. From this calculation it seems they are saying 1 RSU is worth 4500 which isn't true. Thi
- RSU vesting on May 20th Hello Fellow Blinders, Quick question - etrade sent an email that some of my rsus will be vested on May 20th. Does this means that it will be in my account on that day itself? If some one has the last working day as May 20th would those rsu still be vested for that person? Can you please let me kno
- Coin base RSU Grants To the Coinbasers on 1 year equity grants - I’ve heard it’s granted on the first Friday of the year (if you’ve been there prior to the grant date) - seeing as $COIN is down 45% YTD were you given any market adjustments?

- RSU based Salary is a Hoax Relatively new to Bay Area. Never got a TC before where ~40% tied to RSU. ( worked in midwest non-tech) It looks like a hoax/gamble to me. For example since I joined : MSFT did not show massive growth. (22-25% growth from my grant value) Same for other FAANG stocks ... Plus the ‘Net’ cash you get a
- Meta RSU grant pricing Have an offer to join Meta soon.

I understand that my upside would also be limited if I hedge but I at least want to diversify my future income from RS
- Amazon new hire RSU grant price I heard Amazon offers # of RSUs instead of total value on their offer letters. How is it priced? Is it based on some sort of moving average when the offer is created? What precisely is it? But for candidates, they evaluate an offer based on total value. Say if they offer me 100 shares, that’s 245k.
- Budgeting off RSU volatility Curious how you all estimate your income for RSUs per year given that they are somewhat volatile. More so in current market or non-FAANG public companies. I've thought about using: 1. 26/52 wk rolling average 2. 80% of current price Anyone have anything better? Okay with some under estimation bu
- Tax implications of depreciating RSU Can someone describe what will happen from a tax point of view, I am new to RSU and not sure how they work and have never seen a scenario like this -83% drop from ipo ($WISH) If I make $180k Base / 400k RSU Which I got at $17, what will happen if the price on my vest date is $4 (-75%) next April?

- vote Base vs RSU Say you get an offer with a fixed TC but you can choose between higher base or more RSUs. Assume this is for a FAANG offer and, for the sake of simplicity, RSUs vest monthly at 25% per year. Trying to understand more from smarter folks before going to the negotiation phase.

- Adobe RSU vs Microsoft RSU vs Amazon RSU Currently Sr. CS in Adobe India with TC around 80L which is almost equally divided between Fixed and Stocks.
