Reading the results. Equity is spread evenly across its vesting period and scaled by your confidence in its value. Refresh grants, stock price changes, cliffs, and taxes aren't included.

Leaving equity behind? If switching jobs means forfeiting unvested equity or a bonus, that's a strong case for a sign-on bonus. See the offer negotiation guide.
