How do you think about RSUs? Are they your wealth? Imaginary dollars? Potential dollars? Are they actually mine? If I quit before full vest is that an actual loss?
When a company says “I will receive an annual RSU award in an amount equivalent to $12,500.00. The grant will vest over a four-year period in 25% increments beginning in the first year following the year of the grant.” Does that mean I get stocks worth as below? 1st year: $12,500 2nd year: 12,500 + ...Read more
Micron folks, Do you get a yearly RSU refresher in your regular compensation package? Is RSU only tied to promotion or new hire? Blind tax - TC 250k #micron #microncompensation #micronhiring
I am in process of negotiating offer. Current offer base = 215k, 20% bonus, 200k RSU / 4 year vesting period. New offer base = 250k, bonus 20%, stock options (details still coming) Would you go for stock options, given a biotech company that can either take off or not. Chances of it going well ar...Read more
People with 3-7 year experience. Poll is for number of RSUs not $$
I get my first big RSU vest on august 15 after staying a year! Yay! What should I do? Update: I’ll get ~$100k in RSU and my thought now is to sell and use the money to buy a multi family real estate or put it in a good index fund. MSFT hit up to $360 recently so just thinking if I should sell all v...Read more
Considering Netflix stocks going downhill with its stocks and it doesn’t pay in RSUs how does it manage employee compensation based on growth? In this case does it reduce cash ? Edit ✍️
I have an offer from Nvidia and I can join either Nov 29 or Dec 6. Can someone please explain how RSU vesting happens and how the number of units is decided based on joining date? Trying to understand if it makes sense to join earlier. Blind tax: Old TC~140k New TC~265k Edit: MS+5.5 YOE. IC4 remot...Read more
Currently Sr. CS in Adobe India with TC around 80L which is almost equally divided between Fixed and Stocks. Have offer from Amazon and Microsoft Bangalore which are giving similar to 25% hike. Prefer Microsoft over Amazon due to better WBL and fixed increase by 30% but have heard that after the ini...Read more
People say I wish I worked at Nvidia (or whatever other company) because Nvidia RSUs went up a lot. But if you think about it the only difference is stock performance before your RSU vest (e.g. twice a year, sometimes 4 times a year or monthly). After that it's your investment decision. You can sel...Read more
Got an offer from a pre-IPO startup for 15000 RSUs at a $5B company valuation. Each stock worth $20 (paper money until liquidity event). I accepted the written offer. But waiting to join until 2 weeks, background check etc etc. The week after the company raised a new round of funding and is now valu...Read more
Some companies like Amazon offer a great stock grant (250k USD over 4 years) at SDE2 And then there is Walmart. Offered me $5500 vesting over 4 years at L72. And this is in Bentonville. Anybody else offered such low RSUs as a part of "talent retention" ? (and before you say $5500 is for entry lev...Read more
Which is more favorable ISO or RSU ? Most startups offer only ISOs. But I am at a loss as to why would people put their own capital to get paper money when they are exercising options at a strike price? At what upside % does it make it worth putting your own money in ? I am sure I am missing somet...Read more
Since Hock Tan promises annual RSU refreshers, what does that look like ? I report to a sr mgr ( who was director in VMware )
Why Apple RSU grants are so low compared to FB, Google, Amazon ? Do they care about competing for the talent at all ? or it’s all about hoarding cash overseas.
Stupid enough to decline the Nvidia offer at 2020 with $ 300k. It was NSU back then with shares vested over 4 years not the actually dollar. Do folks know how much does it worth now?
#equity #startup What is the future like for Circle? Do you believe in the company and it will get IPO? Also has the company ever had any liquidity event for their RSU/options? #circle
