Does the Microsoft on hire stock vest 25% per year? Or is it the vest every quarter 1/4 th of the 25%? Does the offer letter mention the vesting frequency?
1 year cliff, then quarterly
My offer letter didn't mention the vesting schedule. FWIW. But I was told that it will vest in 4 years, with a 1 year cliff and then quarterly.
This, when emailed HR, he responded that it's a one year 25% cliff, then quarterly
Tthe 1st 25% vest is 6 months after joining, and then each 25% is exactly 1 year after the last. So 0.5-1.5-2.5-3.5 years.
Hm. My on-hire stock vests annually, split evenly for five years
Your offer will mention details. It is usually 25% after a year, and then switches to quarterly vest (ie. 1/4th of 25% in every quarter).
Yep that's right
