People who joined Amazon 10 years ago and didn't sell their stock are also millionaires.
Thatās true. But Twillio is an underdog when it comes to work and TC.
I donāt seem to understand why people think this. 4 years ago at IPO the stock was at $25 on the first day and itās now at $215. Nothing underdog about that.
I have a guy in my team. Has been with Amazon since 2001. He once shared-after selling stock to fund his house and car over the years he still has 3800 vested shares unsold.
Damn.. how many shares does amazon give every year
Damn son. Thatās ill!!!
Yes, I know many of them
Thereās plenty of twillionaires, not just in R&D. Have seen TC tank when we were in the 20s/share.
The last option strike price before IPO was around $11 and now weāre at $215, so yes. Very likely unless people unloaded it all at $30
They are all earning for CA govt. Amazon is a better deal
Ya, amazon with itās weird shitty vesting schedule... That 10% is the real deal breaker š. (Also, the Bay Area is Amazonās second largest āofficeā, but I assume you mean Seattle?)
Many Twillionaires indeed, and not only thanks to options. Some early post IPO RSU packages ended up being quite valuable. Great company in all respects.
I started 1 year post-IPO and knew someone who was around for almost 10 years. He left last year but heās def a millionaire
