I appreciate the clarification. It's not an indication of my desire to work at a FAANG or not. My own experience is from publically trading companies, whom offered options with (typically) 3-5 year vesting periods.

However..

> Public companies such as FB pay in liquid stock, that *vests over some period of time*.

And

> immediately sellable

Are a contradiction, no?

the difference is that this is public stock and so you can sell as soon as it vests. Different from private options/RSU that can only be sold on secondary market, which is not as easy.
