Considering Uber vs Google. Uber is going to file for IPO in April. I would receive between 5-6k Uber RSUs over 4 years if I accept my offer for L4. The problem that I see with this is now I am going to have to wait 12 months to sell, which is probably going to be many months after the lockup period is over and other employees are already selling. How much is Uber’s stock going to potentially drop after the lockup period expires? How much risk am I taking by accepting Uber RSUs in May 2019? I am also just concerned about market risk as we are late in the business cycle and we could be in recession before May 2020. My other option is Google, no numbers yet
Employees selling doesn't impact the stock price by much or for long. The bigger risk is the stock underperforming. To assess that, you need an expert predictor of stock market success. See FB, GOOG, Snap, Twilio, AMZN, Netflix, AAPL, MSFT. Which one will Ubers stock be like? BTW, what's Ubers stated fair market value of their shares now?
Is this your offer - smh2313 ?
Please let me know when you find a crystal ball.
I don’t know if it’s safe to disclose the 409a on Blind
Safe? Just search on blind you will find it. It is in 40's
Slowing growth and massive losses tend to work out poorly in the long run.
Yeah just ask Amazon
Ask Google to give you a sign on bonus and use that to short Uber stock a little bit before they release their quarterly earnings. Your TC will triple.
Quarterly earnings have been published since 2017
I thought when there's a financial event (like IPO) then you can sell your RSUs immediately. Or does that only apply to options?
And if you’re off, he’ll come for your blood. 😉
Thanks for the insider info. I'm gonna time it and place on order when it dips 22.87%. ( this is How millennials invest. GenZ is worse. Uber has dark mode in the app. Let me buy more blah blah and GenY be like..Uber has car but has not acquired any oil companies. All their cars won't work when oil runs out.. So I'm not gonna buy it)
How do you know it will IPO in April? Will the number of shares be the same if you accept the offer now and join in May (assume it gets IPO in April)?
LOL you don’t have much to lose anyway why even bother.
