Congrats! That sounds like a great compensation package. I'm just trying to understand though how does tax effect the overall amount that you eventually earn ? Does it come down by 35% or 40% or does it depend on when you decide to cash out your capital gains (for the stock part..) ?

Stock grants are taxed as ordinary income, based on market price (or estimated value, for pre-IPO) on the day of vest.

If it's pre-ipo it's often a qualified options plan and not RSUs. In many pre-ipo cases you would be taxed only on capital gains.

Yes, my net taxes are roughly in that range.
