[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So OP earns $280k

Let’s say she has $500k in vested RSUs.

Are you going to new jobs asking for $360k salary AND a $500k or whatever signing bonus?

Or instead just asking for a higher salary, like $485k and assuming your high salary would match the vesting of your RSU (in this case 4 years).

Curious how this type of negotiation goes down; I’ve never had RSU and always just negotiated on salary, so interesting to have this anchor holding you to old job. [/quote]

I’m a NP but I’ve been in the position of considering switching jobs with significant unvested RSUs. First off, OP isn’t talked about vested RSUs. Those are hers to sell or hold as she wants. The issue would be the unvested ones, which she would lose the right to if she leaves voluntarily.

When I was considering moving to a new role at another large company that also offered RSUs as part of its standard package for my level, the recruiter asked me in advance for data on my current number of unvested RSUs in creating the comp package. The new company aimed to show that I could get a significant number of new RSUs (but not the same dollar amount) on signing at the new company to try to make me whole for the unvested RSUs I was giving up. Of course, I’d have to start over with a new vesting period and wait longer for them to actually vest, but that’s the type of package someone might see in this situation.

In my case, I decided it wasn’t worth it to switch. [/quote]
