Recently received offer from Google. Wanted to check if there are any better articles related to how GSUs work with forward vesting. I tried running through multiple articles but failed to understand this. Is it that complex? When will I be eligible to get my shares( is it every month or like once a year)? How I can convert them to actual cash.. Do I need to pay taxes for the equity too?
TC : Still negotiating

In most companies, your first vest would be after 1 year of service.
If by front loading, you’re vesting 33% of granted stock, your brokerage account would have 1/3rd of your initial grant after 1 year. Stocks are considered regular income too. Upon vest, the taxes are deducted and you get the remaining units.
Once vested, you can sell these units for cash.
During the time of sell, if your stocks have appreciated in value, you have to pay capital gain taxes too.
The longer you hold the stocks, the lesser capital gain tax you’d pay.
missing is target comp and the ability
for comp committee to adjust up and down.
