My point was that inasmuch as they don&#x27;t vest the same year they&#x27;re granted, RSUs are nothing but a commitment that part of your compensation <i>in the future</i> will be in the form of stock.<p>If I grant you $1,000,000 in RSUs, vesting over 1000 years, is your annual income $1,000,000 ? No, it&#x27;s $1,000.
