Turned 40 last week, just got mine. Definite WTF moment for me

I wish every company would adopt quarterly vesting. Yearly vesting schedules are obnoxious and can really screw people over.

Depends. I have worked at publicly traded large tech companies and RSUs have been very lucrative for me. Some years my total compensation has been 60-80% from RSUs.

Check levels.fyi. 400-500k+ isn’t unusual for senior and above positions in US HCOL areas at competitive tech companies. Often this includes RSUs which can have downsides but are usually ok

Rookie numbers.
