That fact is true, a fair point - when I left microsoft I left money behind but I got to go to a new faang job and left that ass ballmer behind ;-) But these friends were coming up on their 3 year anniversary I think. Amazon backloaded stock for a while. And it was more than 250k. I asked them why they couldn't get sit for a week, then take vacation, just do no shit for a month at amazon. And these two people separately said it was just so stressful they couldn't take it any more.
- scarface74 4y agoIt’s the same concept. The first two years you are getting your base + prorated signing bonus + 5% of your RSUs the first year and 15% the second year. If the stock price stays level. Your 4 year compensation is going to stay about level - you get a slightly smaller signing bonus the second year. If it goes up significantly by year 2.5 (20% every six months after year 2). You will see a massive jump. If Amazon did just pay you base + stock at an even 25/25/25/25. You would still be “leaving money on the table”.
