How much should I factor equity into decision to leave? Is it typically anywhere near what the company actually says? Current make 140k at PWC. Offer is for a tech company 165k, 10% bonus, but also 100k yearly equity vested quarterly. So they’re framing it up as $281,500 total comp. Just feel like no way that 100k is truly liquid at 25k each quarter?

Oh that’s interesting. Haven’t heard of that before. Some companies do refreshers after an initial grant but not in perpetuity. That’s sweet if that’s the case though!

That’s the way it works. Google allocates your shares at the time of onboarding and releases them at your vesting schedule. You can sell the moment they’re released to you if you want.

Equity is as good as cash for companies with stable stocks. If the stock crashes, they’ll grant new equity to folks to retain them, if the stock increases you get to keep the upside.

Once you’re in your account they’re yours they can’t claw it back and you can liquidate them for cash the moment you get them.
