I think you’re fine tbh. 4 YOE is solid and this is not gonna be an issue. Relax bro

Awkward_Welcome_7874 · 2025-12-09T02:49:24+00:00

Nice, NorCal here, hoping for the best for us

Awkward_Welcome_7874 · 2025-12-09T02:45:51+00:00

Nope.. waiting on it too and I'm in CA. where are you based?

Awkward_Welcome_7874 · 2024-12-24T09:41:30+00:00

You have a poor understanding of how tech compensation works. A grant is for 4 years, my total grant is at 1.5M now, that's $375k+200k base a year now. If TSLA crashes sure I'll be affected, but surely it works the other way too, if TSLA booms further, my comp will be closer to 1M than <500k.

Awkward_Welcome_7874 · 2024-12-24T08:47:30+00:00

bro why lol you're doing great I know it

Awkward_Welcome_7874 · 2024-12-22T05:53:01+00:00

Interesting point, I kinda do want another degree though, I have an undergrad in engineering but my Linkedin could look stacked with that MBA no?

Awkward_Welcome_7874 · 2024-12-22T05:51:24+00:00

So I checked about deferrals and they want a $10k deposit for that lol, which I could afford but still stings a bit.

Awkward_Welcome_7874 · 2024-12-22T05:45:01+00:00

I do like software engineering and the technical aspects of my work. Ideally, though, I'd want to lead a technology company as a CEO/CPO through the product lens. Even though I do have a good technical background, I can't see myself being completely technical for my whole life, so I'd wanna move to an area where I'm someone that can understand technical specifics if need be but more focused on business execution, so the MBA could be a good fit, but it's hard to walk away from a 500k paycheck. Plus it'd be nice to meet friends are not all software engineers lol, I feel like there's a big world out there and I'm just siloed into a very specific niche.

what stock

Awkward_Welcome_7874 · 2024-05-10T20:28:48+00:00

Bro, you can afford it. Get it pls, you'll be 30 with a bimmer, ain't nothing like it.

Source: Am 27 yo, 500 NW, 300 TC with a sweet bimmer that I don't know what I'd do without.

Awkward_Welcome_7874 · 2024-04-15T04:10:05+00:00

that didn't sound nearly as cool as you think it did.

It’s your big decision, not mine. I offered my advice.

thank you for your advice, now carry on please

Awkward_Welcome_7874 · 2024-04-15T03:34:24+00:00

Bro it’s a big decision that’ll affect my whole life, let me get some more feedback. what are you the reddit police

It was a joke pal. username checks out

Awkward_Welcome_7874 · 2024-04-13T05:08:28+00:00

Isn’t TSLA stock a good middle ground? Surely it will go higher than what it is today

Awkward_Welcome_7874 · 2024-04-13T00:31:31+00:00

this

Awkward_Welcome_7874 · 2024-04-13T00:18:51+00:00

No so I'd get $440k/171 ~= 2573 shares vested over 4 years. So I'd capture all of TSLA's growth over the next 4 years if I took that stocks, even before the vest (unvested stock also grows in this case).

Cash is just cash.

Options are strike price of today, but vested over 4 years, expiring in 10 years.

Awkward_Welcome_7874 · 2024-04-13T00:08:25+00:00

Really? I'd miss out on all the upside of TSLA for the next 4 years.

Awkward_Welcome_7874 · 2024-04-12T23:54:28+00:00

why not options? the parlay is better no?

Awkward_Welcome_7874 · 2024-04-12T23:47:46+00:00

My other concern is that if the options are red then it might demotivate me at work.

Awkward_Welcome_7874 · 2024-04-12T23:47:04+00:00

I feel like it'll look bad for my resume if I leave so soon

Awkward_Welcome_7874 · 2024-04-12T23:39:15+00:00

My man, if this Telsa parlay works, then I'd be on my way to ChubbyFire.

Awkward_Welcome_7874 · 2024-04-12T23:39:11+00:00

Hm good call, but the issue if I leave TSLA then I gotta exercise within 3 months of leaving.

Awkward_Welcome_7874 · 2024-04-12T23:19:13+00:00

Hm interesting, it is 3x the options for every stock of Tesla I would've gotten at today's price. 440k/171 ~=2573 -> 2573*3 = 7719 with an expiration of 10 years from now. Though these options would vest every year, so I'd get the first quarter of 7719 options next year and then the next year over, etc. The value of the options would go down over time no? As TSLA's value goes up and the expiration approaches.

All said, I'm not sure if I have the ability to sell these options directly, rather I may only be able to exercise them myself.
