Normal valley vesting schedule is:
- A grant of a specific number of Restricted Stock Units (RSUs)
- Vesting over 4 years
- You get nothing for 12 months
- On the 12th month you get 25%. You can sell this immediately for cash if you choose
One of the following:
A. Each month you vest 1/36th of the remaining stock
B. Each quarter you vest 1/12th of the remaining stock
You can sell this immediately for cash if you choose
Some terrible companies like Amazon have abusive vesting schedules such as 5% the first year, 15% the second year, then 40% the final two years.
