Is it really possible to get 180K RSUs per year with just 2 years of experience? That's more than the standard new grad Rsu grant at Google/FB/Microsoft/Amazon

Is it really possible to get 180K RSUs per year with just 2 years of experience?
That's more than the standard new grad Rsu grant at Google/FB/Microsoft/Amazon, which vests over 4 years. I can't imagine that 2 years of experience plus some negotiating quadruples the stock signing bonus.
Everything else seems high, but within the realm of possibility...however, the RSU grants seem to be abnormally high to me. OP claims that he gets the listed amount per year in stock, not vesting over four years.

- joshuamorton 9y agoKeep in mind that pre-IPO companies are often willing to throw egregious amounts of stock at you, since it is illiquid and forces you to stick around. (and in this specific instance, Lyft is known for above-average stock grants). I got a similar offer (>180K RSU/year) from a company, and I have less experience than this guy.
