RSUs have no tax advantage to holding for a year. It is all income when it vests (I believe). ESPP is different. Regardless you should never be holding more than x% of your NW in your employer. Those of us who have been around a while and amassed some money and work at companies that are a good investment can afford to keep RSUs longer.
Litmus test: if I gave you cash of your RSU amount less tax now, would you rush out and put it all in your employer stock? If not, sell now
Looking in hindsight is extremely dangerous. Investing a significant proportion of your net worth into one stock is high risk high reward. Like I said, if your NW is high in proportion to your RSUs and your risk tolerance is high it may be worth to keep it.
Also, @yelp, don’t mean to pick on you but you are my point exactly on how little research people actually do before having an opinion… what is the standard RSU package in Netflix? How is their ESPP?
I think it is safe to hodl 10 stocks you believe in.
