The actual value of a new-hire grant upon vesting depends heavily on the company's valuation trajectory and the vesting schedule.
For new-hire grants issued as RSUs, employees must serve at the company for a certain number of years (commonly 4) before the grant gradually vests, and any unvested portion is automatically forfeited upon departure.
