Some employers will structure these as double trigger RSUs that do not vest until a date passes + a liquidity event occurs to avoid this.


I had no idea that you can get RSUs this way. Does anyone have any suggestions on what to search for related to this?

Part of why I wanted to be a contractor was precisely because I didn’t want to play the startup lottery. But RSUs would give an alternative.


They’re extremely common at larger venture funded companies that in theory are closer to IPO.


“Double trigger” seems to be the common term per a quick online search
