Has anyone successfully negotiated after accepting? Roblox calculated joining rsu by looking at a 60 day average ending on 1/31. But that price is 35% higher than todays price.

A part of me feels a deal is a deal and I committed, but 35% loss is pretty high before I even join.

    Just push back your start date by a month if itโ€™s that important to you. That way the 60 day average will be lower.

      Haha I completely understand. You can always just say you are wanting a break in between roles to push it out. 35% is quite significant. But as other comments have said, a good earnings could push the stock higher in Feb so could be risky either way. As they always say, itโ€™s never a good idea to try and time the market.

    You signed a deal but 35% is the territory where it's going to be an instant retention issue for them. You should just be honest and ask. Success rate highly variable though.

    Also, TC or GTFO

    Just wait and join later. Average price gets calculated using your join date, not the date you accepted

    Feb 15 is their next earnings. If they do well, it might end up going higher fast, such as in the last earnings in November. So it might be a gamble.
    I suppose you can push back the start date decision to after Feb 15 to see how the stock reacts and then join in late Feb.
    You can also ask the recruiter if they provide refreshers during comp review to account for this. Doesn't hurt I think.

    No. Any companies stock can drop like a rock at any time.
