RSUs - way more liquid than options, they're practically cash in the bank when they vest, but watch out for cliffs (i.e. vesting schedule). Amazon is particularly bad (tail weighted), Google is particularly generous (every month).
- schreiaj 5y agoNo cliff, but the vesting schedule is based on amount granted. For _most_ engineers it's likely monthly.
- barrkel 5y agoWell sure, if you don't have enough to add up to a share every month then you won't get a share every month. If the price continues to rise and there's no stock split that will probably become more likely in the future.
