Hey fellas grinding away at AirBnB, Uber, Lyft, Pinterest and others previously in similar companies. What do you do with your vested RSUs/options worth paper money? Is it worth the wait till these companies IPO or get acquired?How do you buy house or any property with this paper money?
Folks considering joining or that recently joined, how do you evaluate offer of a $100k RSU of paper money compared to a liquid stock at say Amazon, Google or Facebook?
Curious to learn, not trolling.
TC: $200k

Lyft- cash 190+ 20, paper 200k
Google - cash 180+28, stock 125k.
The gambles not bad. The cash component itself seems enough to live reasonably in the Bay area. Paper money has a better chance of longer term returns.
Does that calculation break down somehow? Yes I understand that Lyft may not survive post IPO. But what if I substituted it with your pet ๐ฆ - Airbnb, Uber, Pinterest.
Example :
FB may pay me $200k base + 20% bonus + $150k/yr RSUs. Total comp is $390k if I get the standard bonus not counting stock appreciation. With max bonus multiplier for myself and FB my bonus could be $180k, although that's rare. Most likely my TC is actually up to $450k if I do a good job.
From a pre IPO company, the package may look like $220-250k cash with no bonus multipliers + $600-800k RSUs. What is that stock worth? Who knows. But unless it crashes I'll hopefully be ahead.
