Would you prefer to receive a cash bonus or vested RSUs?

Preferably both!

But to answer your question, assuming the company stock is somewhat stable it doesn’t really matter. They are both considered bonuses.

You may get more in RSUs because of the vesting schedule, which keeps you at the company longer.

Thanks for your input. The question might not be as clear (can’t change now), but the shares would be already vested immediately. Just for anyone else commenting.

Depends on the tax treatment in your state, assuming an American locale.

Meta 1 generally RSUs are treated as earned income in the US even as a bonus. If you got your paycheck, went out and bought stock, and sold it it would be unearned income

Taxation: Consider the tax implications. Cash bonuses are typically taxed as ordinary income at the time of receipt, which can result in a significant tax liability. On the other hand, the taxation of RSUs can be more complex. Selling RSUs immediately may lead to short-term capital gains taxes, which can be higher than long-term capital gains taxes.

RSUs are taxed as ordinary income upon vest date, no different than cash bonus.

“Job hopper” and “quiet quitting” are all schemes made up by boomers to make you think everything is the employees fault. When in reality people are just getting out of bad situations. Older companies do whatever they can to pay you the least amount and get the max work out of you. Except our generation will just leave amid we’re being mistreated, not complain for 35 years making 50k and 0 advancement.
