What RSUs in tech job offers actually mean

Original: RSU. Shows up in every tech job offer and nobody explains it. 😅 It stands for Restricted Stock Unit, and the idea is sim

Tech professionals are discussing RSUs, or Restricted Stock Units, a form of equity compensation that appears in most technology job offers but is rarely explained clearly. Commentary points out that despite the intimidating name, the concept is straightforward, and there is growing pushback against jargon and gatekeeping around compensation terms, with plain-language explainers being shared to help job seekers understand what they are actually being offered.

Why now: Job seekers and tech workers frequently encounter RSUs in offers but often lack clear explanations of how this equity compensation works.
