$Advanced Micro Devices (AMD.US)$ I was offered 80k RSUs of AMD in sept 2015 when I was job hunting (SWE for the "game testing/optimizing" team or something). They made me fly out 5am and back 6pm same day for the interview due to their "cost optimization program". I thought they were going bankrupt so I passed on the offer.
$2 million.

John Dow : They were literally a penny stock back then, $1.80 a share.
That's only $160k RSUs worth vesting over 4 years which is actually quite low.
Hindsight 20/20 but it just goes to show how hard it is to gauge these things.
woodfill John Dow : Well clearly I'm in the wrong industry...
Johnsh : Friend of mine was offered a job at a startup in 2000. But they wouldn't tell him exactly what he would be working on. So he passed on that and joined some other company.
That startup? Google. He would have been employee #40 or so.
ChclABkTHD Johnsh : And that hiring manager's name? Albert Einstein
fWY3TQgFdr Johnsh : Sounds like a scam
fPyTvyOaaW : Damn at least I only passed on$200k from a start up that got acquired 3 months later
EshoROsvP7 : I guess those cost optimization program did pay off, it was a sign.
70195760 : If you cared to post this comment, I don’t think you could hold the stock this long time. You might have sold the stock at some point too during its long run.
AJ1977 : Working in AMD from 2002-2010. Tat period, highest was $20+ & lowest hit $2. Damn… should have exercise my employee Benefits to buy the shares at discount.
DannyAng : Punching
