I've found vesting periods to be prohibitive enough that I don't even consider these things when negotiating employment.
Also, I'd add that job-hopping (what I'd define as working somewhere less than 12-24 months) seems to have been de-stigmatized – at least in larger tech hubs.
- codeonfire 11y agoExactly. my current employer has a five year vesting schedule. Who cares about five years? I demanded more base. If you are at a company longer than one year you are in serious trouble. Sorry, but corporations and the scuzzy managers brought this upon themselves.
- kdevrou 11y agoThe one thing that usually catches my eye is when a company offers these things 100% vested. I know that I'm dealing with people that understand what I want.
