to avoid confusion related to dates, I am removing the dates and generalizing the situation. if my next vest date is 2 weeks in future and i serve 2 weeks notice such that my last day = vest date, is there a risk to lose the RSUs? Not going to a competitor. Please share your experience. if there yes, have you winessed it personally/ know someone? There is a lot of hearsay about Amz, so not looking for advise but facts. more: I accepted offer 3 months back and with visa issues, things are already delayed. dont prefer to delay further, hence requesting real experiences with Amz employment.
Always think about the worst case, don't serve 2 weeks notice until you actually see the vesting settled in your account.
I know, but holding off two extra weeks with new employer is little tricky. I accepted offer 3 months back and with visa issues, things are already delayed.
They want you, they're not going to rescind your offer for 2 weeks of delay after going through that.
Yes there is a risk, not high but still there
Happened with you or someone you know?
One of Amazon’s leadership principles is frugality. That should tell you all you need to know. I know several people got screwed because they gave notice before vest and lost their stock.
Wow... never thought frugality = cheating You know folks working at Amz getting screwed?
Yes. Doesn’t happen all the time. But it definitely happens. If you really want your vest, the right strategy is to wait until it is in your account and then resign right after.
Ask to get PIP too. Severance could be as big as vesting
I was walked out on the day I gave notice. Didn't get paid for the intended notice period. Advice: play safe. Your earned those RSUs. Don't leave without them.
Wow... did you move from AWS to Azure? Direct competitor?
Yes.
OP.. if you’re still reading this thread.. can you provide an update on what happened? I’m in a similar state and curious.
I am op but changed name. Still waiting on visa work and mostly will be ready to serve notice in first week of July. The vest date is 7/16, so not sure what to do. Still hanging as depends upon visa. What is your situation with respect to timelines.
I vest and need to GTFO in next 2 weeks.. have to leave the day after. Tips? Have you learnt anything new about why I should just resign on the last day and not give any notice?
Don't be dumb wait until they land in your account and then give 1 week
My stock vests on Saturday. And i want to join my new employer on the following Monday. What should 1 do in such a case?
Hi Op I am in a similar situation now. Could you please throw light on what happened? Thanks
Yeah +1. Can someone tell what happened? @MicAm can you also tell?
+1. Can anyone please share their experience?
Stocks vest on the 15th and settle in your account by the 17th.
My vest date is 5/29, which will be my last date after resigning on 5/15.
Is this from your new hire offer?
