- harryh 9y agoSure, but again, the clocks on those are starting at zero just like you might get at any new job.
- nedwin 9y agoThey probably got $x00,000 signing bonuses with a claw back of 2 years in addition to the stock compensation. They definitely could shop around and find a new role (if they can find another company they want to work for in Atlanta) but it's unlikely to come with as healthy compensation as that. Plus if you like your team you can keep working together.
- s73ver 9y agoThe point being that a random guy hired off the street isn't getting those bonuses at all.
