Curious what people do and what general guidance is for vesting rsu of a company you work for.

Are unvested shares enough exposure in the company?

May vary by frequency of vest? Monthly vs Amazon schedule 1 yr +

Status quo bias: ask if you would buy company stock with a cash bonus. If answer is no, convert stock to cash.

  Not sure if SpaceX is right. These are RSU. They will be taxed on vest.

  He means only short term gains tax. All rsu will still get taxed as income at vest.

Your unvested shares already give you long exposure, why not diversify some over time.

If need money for something else then always sell, else if believe the stock will go up > 50% then hold, else sell.

  Redundant condition. Should be: if believe the stock will go up > 50% then hold, else sell. 😬

It you hold one year after vest, is that short term capital gain tax or long term? Assuming the stock price went up from your cost basis at vest

  If you sell on vest, there won't be any capital gains.
