Its all in RSUs

Supposedly, all people that join meta are on the same contract. They also supposedly all have the same RSU vesting schedules as well.

That means that these "rockstars" will get a big sign on bonus (but its payable back inside 12 months if they leave) then ~$2m every 3 months in shares

It's not even in RSUs. No SWEs/researchers are getting $100M+ RSU packages. Zuck said the numbers in the media were not accurate.

If you still think they are, do you have any proof? any sources? All of these media articles have zero sources and zero proof. They just ran with it because they heard Sam Altman talk about it and it generates clicks.

Oh they aren't getting 100m, but directors are getting something close to 25m.

I suspect some "strong" hires will be on 75m
