Obviously, it matters very much what the market price of the stock is.  Your grant will be for a certain number of shares on some vesting schedule, not for a certain <i>cash value</i>.<p>Remember kids, stock prices don&#x27;t always go up.  Some stock prices go down, and sometimes all stock prices go down together.  Those RSUs that, if fully vested, would have a market price of $400k at time of hire, may well be worth anything from $0 to $millions at the time they actually vest.
