It’s definitely an interesting approach by Shopify and nice to see someone challenge the status quo. What’s the downside though? Do you get the same dollar amount whether you choose RSU or cash? Does the comp compare favourably to the top of market companies who pay mostly RSUs? Can you potentially lock in a low strike price for your grant over four years or is it more like an ESPP? (Of course the last year showed this is not always a winning strategy lol). My assumption is that paying employees in RSUs works out more favourable for the companies than paying all cash so I’d expect it to be lower if you take all cash (I have zero knowledge of accounting mind).
