I'm in the process of interviewing with a few companies that recently went IPO. Should I join before or after 6 month IPO lock-up period?

    We don’t have a lockup because we didn’t IPO. It was a direct listing. Employees can only trade in specific windows (like other public companies), but there’s no 6 month lockup.

      Current plan is 15% of the company can be fully remote and the rest is back at the office 3 days a week starting in September. They say they will increase the % remote as time goes on

    Based on what we saw, what really matters post IPO is how quickly a company adjusts the rsus they give out. At unity, we didn't adjust it till the six month lockout ended. Point being, those people who joined post IPO pre lockup got the best deal. As they had the greatest visibility on share value without sacrificing units.
