Refersher RSUs, what to expect?

For ease of math, if you were granted a 4 year vest of 100 shares total (25/yr), next year, when the "refresh" comes, what's typical at that time? Another 100 shares on a new 4 year vest? Or 25 shares on a 4 year vest? Or some number in between?

At VMware, at least at a certain level, the big dollars in stock was because you'd have lots of overlapping 4 year vest periods. Might be 100K 4 year plan, but if you get that every year, by year 5, you're making 100K/yr in stock because you have 4 plans active at one time. Just wondering how Broadcom does this.

Typical you get 320 a year.

thanks for the info.

100 is good for me. never a star and do not expect more.

50 ~ 150, most 80 ~ 100.

150 is rare. you have to be a star.

Does that mean those who receive 1100 shares in welcome offers will get 1100 shares every year?

50 ~ 150.

~80 shares.

You will get 100 shares every year.

Yes, you are correct in overlapping RSUs except it starts in June of year 4 when you have 4 sets vesting at the same time. The number of stocks granted each year varies.

Up to 50 more each year, starting year 2, and every year after - if your welcome grant was 100 RSUs - but that can go up or down based on stock price.

Employee turnover is very low if you make it through the first year. RSUs make it easy to stay just one more quarter.
