Yeah but with a 1 year vesting instead of 4 you may be able to cash out before the bubble bursts.

Vesting schedule is the same.

Did you think you have to wait 4y to get stock?

As far as I understand the article instead of getting 1/4 the stocks each year for 4 years they get it all at once, hence after 1 year you get 100% of the stock instead of 4. Is that not what was meant?

You get 100% of the stock worth 1y after 1y

Stripe, for example, gives out around 300k-350k per year for senior AVG.

Back then for 4y equity, 1y was worth around 250k initially.
