Evaluating an offer that has 75k RSUs that vest over 3 years with a potential for 50k RSUs per year of additional comp. how do I evaluate if these RSUs will be worth anything in three years as they seem to be giving them out like candy to director and above roles.

Your chance to sell RSUs may come during a future financing, but very possibly you will have to wait for the company to go public to sell your RSUs. So you need to believe the company can grow into public markets to have any value at all from the RSUs.

In the meantime there will be tax implications, depending on how the RSUs are structured - there are very plausible situations in which you pay a tax bill in advance, for example on the face value of very cheap options, but the options go to zero because the company fails. Of course, RSUs have lots of upside, but there’s some amount of downside too.

But the short answer is, they’re as valuable as you believe the company is promising. You’re probably not going to be able to apply a rigorous valuation to them unless the company is pretty mature. But if you want to, a hybrid option pricing model is probably the best.

You can always make a market and operating model with various scenarios if it makes you feel more comfortable, but these are the tools of value investing and you’re in a growth investing scenario.

Sometimes you just have to find the business model plausible, management’s claim to be the right team credible, hold your nose, and jump. I hope it works out great for you!

I applied for a job and received an offer from my client. 15k+ bump in salary, better benefits/remote work, and responsibilities will give me exposure to all areas of the organization (start up). The problem is that they’re looking to staff me as a Senior when I’m currently a Manager at DT. They said they’re flexible on title, but curious to hear how others have navigated similar situations. I would report directly to the controller and have 1-2 staff reporting to me...

She said "I have not seen the world. Only 20 percent ppl go beyond money, rest look for WLB, job security, learning."
Okay, so my thoughts are from where she got that stats - 20 percent really ?
I beleive HRs are also subset of that 20 percent, bdw I don't mind saying am a elite subset of the 20 percent looking for better salaries. What's wrong in asking ?
