This page aims to aggregate everything I have written on FAANG RSU Vesting. My approach when it comes to managing vesting RSUs: “Come up with a plan before your RSUs vest. Write down your plan. Stick to the plan.” A good plan has a set strategy that tells you when to sell, which shares to sell, and just as important, what you are going to do with the money after you sell.
For many years I didn’t sell FB stocks after vest. I felt bad selling them as they used be on the upward trend. I knew about the risks. Though after 2020 dip I learned my lesson and stared offloading on vest and gradually sold a lot of them over the years to buy VTI / some VGT.
I like the part about writing down your plan so that you don’t deviate from it. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for this! I’m working at Meta in a non-tech role and fortunate to get RSUs for the first time in my career, and this is helpful. It’s not much compared to SWE roles but I’m so grateful for the extra income
