Hi, I had a Google phone screen couple of weeks back which didn't go well. Someone from Waymo recruiting emailed me about opportunities. Not sure if both companies fall under the same cool off period. If they don't and I am able to join Waymo, is it possible to transfer from Waymo to Google? #google #waymo

      Forced liquidation is a thing on departure. When you leave you’re given an addendum to your contract which basically offers two options: (1) forced liquidation of your WMUs at the next liquidation event (quantity is still unknown) or (2) neither you or Waymo can touch them for four years locking both parties from touching them (in which amount of time they could become totally worthless).

      Option 2 is the only one that might allow you to actually keep the equity that you’ve built up at the company and it’s insanely risky.

      IPO lottery is referring to: if you happen to be at the company when it IPOs then you win. Due to this liquidation preference It is clearly unrelated to who has built enough equity at the company because the population of people with equity are roughly those who are current employees during the IPO. This is due to the addendum on departures I cited previously.

    Waymo has a higher bar than Google. I’d recommend taking some cool off time to brush up or gain more experience first
