moral clarity usually sharpens the moment the last RSU hits the brokerage account

Alphabet dropped “don’t be evil” from its moto in 2015. This guy went in knowing how the sausage was being made.

Sometimes. Sometimes not. I left with more than 4 million in RSU's left. Pretty much any Googler who leaves will be leaving lots of money on the table. This is because they are usually 3/4 year grants, so it's pretty much impossible to leave without lots of unvested RSU. There are some 1 year grants, but those are much more uncommon (~1%)
