I've got a bit under a year left of sign-on that pays out monthly before the monthly-take-home cliff. Then I will take home base pay and will have to risk twelve months of work without RSUs to get the year-three RSU pay-out. And that's if I don't get laid off or face a fun set of MBRs and COEs in that interim.

So I'll have this year of still-cash compensation and decide in that year what to do for next year.

It has been very very hard to not think of my current inflated compensation as "salary." But I'll try to lower my expectations again.

I'm fairly certain the vest is every 6 months after year 2, so you get a 20% initial grant vest at years 2.5, 3, 3.5, and 4

Oh happy days! That actually makes the cliff a bit more manageable for me. I really don't like applying for jobs and so have been dreading it.

didnt your HR lay this out for you. Ive been in talks with tesla, and one of the first things they told me was how the options/RSU vesting works.
