Hi,

I have been working in the Software Industry for the past 9 years. I feel like I have made a good use of my time and money and maybe some of my lessons can help you folks as well. Recently did a calculation for my NW and I am happy and proud to see my NW crossing 2CR+. I have 0 debt and do not own a house. Here is how my portfolio look like

TC: 1.3 Cr
YOE: 9

I am happy to do an AMA. Ask me anything about tech, career, love, marriage, money management, therapy, songs and movies.

Sorry if delay in responses, I'll answer all your questions eventually.

I see a lot of similar questions and I'll try to answer them here.

>>>>>>CTC Progression<<<<

My current CTC is 1.3CR . 50% is cash, 50% is stocks.

Here is my CTC progression over the years

1st - 12L
2nd - 12L (Switched Companies)
3rd - 15L 
4th - 24L (Switched companies)
5th - 42L (Switched Companies)
6th - 48L
7th - 66L
8th - 72L
9th - 1.3Cr (Switched Companies)

As you can see I almost everytimg doubled my compensation when I switched my companies. But there are reasons to stay at a company as well. If you are learning and are able to handle different problems at scale, stay. When you feel stuck, leave and look for better opportunities. I have never switched job to get more money. I love CS. I have been coding since 15 years. What made me switch was either bad managers, uninteresting problems not visibility of learning and growth.

Welcome to Personal Finance's Private Community

I am not really good with finances, my personal portfolio size is around 15lacs, and other than that my 11 lacs worth of Amazon RSUs are vested.

I have genuine question on how do you guys manage RSUs ?
Do you take it out and invest somewhere else or just let it stay there in your company broker account.

Can someone help me in managing it better.

A bit more context about me if that helps:
* currently working as SDE 2 promoted 2 quarters back only ( before that TC was around 21) and current TC is around 49lacs

How do you guys manage your RSUs ?

Software Developer

If a person is an employee of faang in india and has 1 RSU allotted to him, then he can make money in two ways:

1) He can hold that RSU. If the value of the company RSU increases (capital gains) and INR depreciates against the dollar, then later on when he sells it he would make money.

2) Another way is to sell the RSU right now and invest the money in Indian market. Then the money that he'll earn will be proportional to his portfolio performance(capital gains)


Which one of the two seems to be a better way to create wealth?

Let me know your thoughts.

RSU hold or invest in India market?

I have around 2 years of experience.
1) 10 months in pervious company with 6 month internship and 4 month full time.
2) 1 year 1 month in current company.

I recently applied for a company and was offered an MTS role. ( 18 cash, 50 private RSUs + additional benefits) Total CTC is approximately 34 LPA

The offer sounds overwhelmingly good based on current market standards but when I checked company’s stock price in secondary markets, they are worth less than 50% of what was quoted by the recruiter.

Right now I am a bit skeptical on the stock price as the company has not yet gone public but they plan to in next couple of years.

Not sharing company and personal details for obvious reasons.

Thoughts on my offer?

What could be the logic behind this? I don't see how this is better, just makes it more hassle, and a potential STCG in case of variation.

Note:
1.1. The vested RSUs given by the employer are mentioned under the nature of perquisites in Form 16. The tax is already paid for it and mentioned in Form 16 as well. The same info is reflected on the ASI website.
1.2. None of the vested RSUs were sold historically.
1.3. No dividend income comes from the vested RSUs.

My doubts
2.1. For this case, do we need to disclose vested RSUs in Schedule FA form in ITR2?
2.2. If I need to disclose them, I did not know about this and filed ITR1, which was processed for the last financial year. I am yet to file for this financial year. Can I disclose all the vested RSUs from 2022 and 2023 in the current FY 2023-2024 filing?

Other Annoyances
3.1. There is a conflict among CAs as well. Some CAs say we need to disclose only when selling and not while holding, as taxes for that are already paid. Other CAs say we need to disclose even if we are holding and even if taxes are paid.
3.2. If the holdings are required to be disclosed, I wish the tax portal could throw an error in the UI if trying to submit the ITR without disclosing Schedule FA. As the IT Department has access to our Form 16, the IT portal can extract data from Form 16, check if it has RSUs mentioned, determine if the stock of the company is listed on a US stock exchange, and mark the Schedule FA form as mandatory. I don't think it is very complicated to implement this feature.

People having RSUs, please clarify

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

I had a very basic doubt.
For people who've exercised their stock options or have had some similar experience with this in the past, what's best way to limit the tax liability?

My company is registered in the US - would i have to pay taxes to both the governments?

Thanks in advance and have a great day ahead!

Tax liability for vested stock options

What did you do with your RSUs after it got vested ?

Program Manager

Consider this scenario:

A well established publicly trading company is giving you $45000 (120 units) worth of RSUs, with vesting schedule of 4 years. The work culture seems stressful (asked from ex employees) and they have a 4 day work from office where they track your badge attendence. 

And a Series B startup is giving you $45000 (9000 units) worth of ESOPs with vesting schedule of 4 years. It has scope to go for Series C and D fundings and even IPO in 4-5 years. The company is flexible in remote/office setting and has some perks like: once a quarter a selected Monday will be holiday, yearly offsite to exotic places.

Which one would you prefer RSUs or ESOPs? and why? Kindly explain why your preferences.

ESOPs or RSUs? Which would you choose?

Analyst

I have a friend with an offer from Coinbase in India where the RSUs will be vested on a quarterly basis. 

Need to understand the following things:

- What is the tax on exercising the RSUs after the grant and on Selling it later?
- Is there double taxation on selling it as the company is listed in US and he's an Indian shareholder?

Any good blog or video on this topic would be very helpful.
