Join Google Early or Join Google late and get stocks at Amazon?
I am currently working in Amazon and planning to leave Amazon around end of the next month(May, 2021) to move to Google, MTV. My H1B transfer is already in progress and planned to be all done by end of next month (May, 2021) for me to start at Google.
Around 7 Amazon stocks will be vested for me in July end. So, now, I am wondering, if I should wait 2 more months to wait on getting the stocks vested or should I just quit early and start my journey in Google early.
The advantage in waiting for 2 months is I will get 7 stocks of Amazon (which is around 21K dollars worth of money). So, almost 3 times my current base salary.
The advantage to start early in Google is my manager in Google would be happy as he has been asking me to join early and not sure how will he take if join 2 months late because of waiting on stocks. Other than that, my career in Google starts 2 months early which would help me to grow faster in Google.
In past, I talked to my recruiter that I would be leaving significant number of stocks and asked him to increase my signing bonus but he didn't agree to that at all. So, negotiation is not anymore possible.
TC offered in Google = 270K
Which of the 2 choices do you think is better? #tech #google

Maybe you can add you have X obligation in may which would also make it difficult to join asap or you want to tie lose ends (common thing to say)
However, I'm not sure of your tc difference and if it's great, then joining new company could be mathematically be superior or equal to staying for the stocks.
