What did you do with your RSU’s after it vested? Did you keep it or was it sold and reinvest to another stock/fund/etf?

I immediately sell as o don’t consider my company, while profitable and solid, to be a growth stock and am unconvinced it will outperform the market generally.

I expect you’ll hear others do the same based on the premise that so much of their financial well-being is already tied up in their relationship with their employer that they want some kind of diversity on that front.

I'm pointing out that under my personal circumstances, and for the reasons I mentioned, I prefer to sell my RSU's immediately. That's it.

I generally sell them to pay off a debt, fund a dream, or otherwise improve my immediate life.

My boss promoted a slightly more conservative variation of this:

Base pays the bills

Bonus buys the big ticket items like cars and vacations

Stock is for retirement (I assume he sold it and out the proceeds toward retirement, or that he held the stock)

I did not sell for a long time (15 years) but now have too much concentration in company stock and have two kids in college so i started selling at vesting.

We sell - not because company isn’t a good investment but given salary tied to employer plus tons of invested stock tied to employer, feel the need to diversify.

I sit on the board of a charity and I use my vested RSUs as donation currency through a donor-advised fund. This way, I incur no tax liability, the charity gets money, and everybody wins!

Hey fishes, can someone tell me how the 80c bracket works, i know i can get exempt upto 1.5lakh under it, what i wanna know is does PF comes under it or not? For example if my yearly pf deduction is 20k and VPF is 10k so now will i still be able to show investment of 1.5lakh under 80c apart from PF and VPF or i'll be able to get exemption on only 1.2 lakh( 1.5lakh-30k= 1.2lakh)?

Thank you in advance!!
