> Be conscious of what is going on with sell to cover on RSUs if you go that route… these will also be sold at short term gains (if the stock went up)

These will be sold at exactly the value you acquired them at, meaning there are no gains whatsoever.

I’m pretty sure my sell-to-cover RSUs take a day or few to settle, resulting in a small but nonzero gain or loss.

The details may depend on the employer + brokerage.
