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%)

Your total comp was ~1.2 mil/year?
About 3x that, actually.

Timing wise, I happened to leave after my old grants expired and before my new grants would be in my account. I was a VP of engineering when i left. Google pays VP's quite well.

If there's a reason you want more exact numbers, poke me over email.

Makes sense. Thanks!
You should probably have email in your bio if you share CTAs based on it
same I left with approx that amount and when stock was still fairly low compared to today, so left life changing money. no ragrets lol.
This must have been a long time ago? Because that's leaving over a billion dollars "on the table" at the current price.
"in RSUs", I think that meant $4M, not 4M shares.
