Many companies vest those RSUs monthly or at least quarterly, and for public companies employees can sell right away. This is a very common paradigm, and in fact financial advisors would frequently recommend employees sell all shares at vest to diversify. I've worked at places also where 105b-1 plans were generally available (sell all shares at vest even outside trading windows), in which case employees were absolutely receiving 40k+ liquid cash a month. Many senior engineers were receiving substantial more than that.
