I’m struggling to figure out when to join.

In my understanding the grant price is the average of stock price 20 days before your start date. Is that correct?

There’s an earnings call on 04/26. Not sure how that'll affect the price. I’m flexible with my start date. When should I join to get the lowest price/most upside

TC - $150k

  • Unlesss you could somehow predict the earnings call, you’re just reading tea leaves

  • Join any time after May 1 so your grant price will be the May average. That way you’re not fucking gambling your TC on an earnings call…

    Earnings calls have immediate impact. It literally has no impact based on the dates you’re giving

    • I’m sorry grey_hat. Made an assumption. No it’s the last 20 days from the grant date, which is the first, first of the month.

      So if you join on April 30, it’s basically the average price in April. >=May 2 would be ~average of May. And so on

      This is definitely something your recruiter could confirm.

      My recruiter said it's the 20 day average of the day before you join

  • Why not buy deep OTM call options for pennies .if the stock price rockets after earnings you would have already made a instant profit .if it falls , you would get a lower grant price . Small price to secure I think

      Could one of you also explain how the stock grant price works? I've heard it's the average of last 20 days the market was open. Is that the closing price each day ?

    Choosing joining date only makes sense for events like Meta’s February drop. In that case you know for sure you should postpone the onboarding date.

    Otherwise we can’t predict things, just join whenever makes to you, joining earlier also means you enjoy higher TC earlier, why not?

      😭 ... Yea, like how I joined Meta in November. Would've made more money had I sat on my ass and not worked for 4 months and just joined now. Ofcourse, always easier to say with hindsight

    Push out joining date by 6-12 months if possible. Goldman sachs has issued a warning ⚠️- “, Goldman analyst Will Nance issued a sell rating for the stock Friday morning, saying a “limited path to near term profitability,” weak account growth and softening engagement from less-sophisticated investors will likely pose headwinds for the stock over the next 12 months.”
