I am not sure how your clock works but 9-5 work hours will have 5 hours common between the East and the West coast.

... when you are stopped in traffic or at a light. And IIRC, this was there before the Google acquisition? Disc: Googler but nowhere close to the products discussed here.

You should check out https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C6gu_ABMvzA . You don't need to wash your pants that often. Specially if stay somewhere there is not dust and areas are not dirty.

Yup, that and all the hand movements (along with the usual grandiose words used) were so distracting that I just stopped watching it.

I think you are missing the point - quite a bit. No one is asking Apple to give up iMessage and replace it with RCS. The ask is to replace SMS fallback with RCS fallback. When you message someone without an iPhone, you currently use SMS. Ev

May be I am too naive but even if you want to limit to apps/companies providing similar kind of services, I don't think this to be something Uber/Lyft wouldn't have tried to do eventually anyway? May be others just had b

Yes, as I said from the other comment, I provided that when I started. From GP's comment, I thought they are saying they had to provide the SSN before they started.

When you start. From reading the GP's comment I felt this was done before they started.

I provided that on the day I started. Not when I accepted my offer.

I guess. I always thought b/g checks are done via third party but I don't recall being asked for SSN during that step. It's been a while so I guess I am not remembering right. Thanks.

Nope. Didn't in my case.

Does the system not ask for SSN to pull this data? If yes, how did Google get your SSN? Disc: Googler.

If you read my comment again, if you sell your stocks immediately after vesting, there is little to no gain. You can even do this automatically at Google using autosale program. Yes, this is short term gain, but it's negligible compare

> The cliff is irrelevant, if you leave before you fully vest your pay rate does not actually match what you claim. This doesn't make sense as well. You don't need to work at Google for a year to get the first year's equit

> RSUs taxed as short term gains and not long term That's not correct. RSUs get taxed as normal income. So whether you get $600k cash or $300k cash + $300k of RSUs, your tax bill is the same. The gain on the RSUs get taxed as short

Coinbase is different. The conversion to stocks doesn't happen at grant-time value for all of the grant. The conversion happens at the start of every year of the grant life. So if the stock goes up in the first year, you get fewer stoc

There are two different ways companies give RSUs. 1. You get $X of stock grant when you join. This gets converted to number of stocks based on the value of the stock when you join and then the stock vests over the next 4 years. So if you ge

What do you mean by stock for free? Do you only consider the base salary as the actual salary and stocks as bonus which could be $0? Because that doesn't make any sense...
