- pc2g4d 9y agoLarge publicly-traded companies can also offer RSUs---doesn't this still apply in that scenario?
- kelnos 9y agoIn practice, RSUs already work that way: you're taxed on RSU delivery, which in the case of a public company is almost always the same as the vest date. Usually the company will sell a portion of the RSUs vested to do tax withholding on the spot, and then you're immediately free to hold or sell the remainder. I the case of a private company, RSU vesting/delivery means you owe taxes but (usually) can't sell them to pay for it, which is (also) no different from today.
