Whet is the typical faang vesting cadence in your experience and are refreshers at meets typically near 25% of the initial grant?
Vesting cadence is typically quarterly or monthly.
Refreshers only being you up to the "standard" target TC (as defined by the company). So after their initial grant fully vests, most engineers will see their comp drop by a couple hundred k, even with refreshers.
This is a huge contributing factor to the low retention at big tech - it's why most people leave by the time their initial grant runs out.
