How are the microsoft stock grants over 3.5 yesrs distributed ?
25% per year. First vesting is at 6 months into the job. Last vesting is at 3.5 years.
They buy the number of stocks of the dollar amount you are granted a month after you join. Then it pays out 1/4 at 6 month mark, 1/4 at 1.5 yr, 1/4 at 2.5 yr mark, 1/4 at 3.5 year mark. So essentially over 4 years
25 and 75/no of quarters
