5.5 years means more than fully vested and probably time for a change anyway...
- DVassallo 6y agoYou're never fully vested. I $650K of unvested AMZN stock when I left after 8.5 years.
- tinyhouse 6y agoBy fully vested I meant the initial 4 years, which is the package you usually get when joining a tech company. Given his caliber I bet it was a fat one. Add to that the run the stock had in the last 5 years. At his age and with his wealth, it's not unlikely he has been considering leaving regardless.
