Well, sort of. Maybe it’s different in our line of work, but we have never had RSUs get forfeited without a new employer buying us out of them. So, maybe the exchanged shares did better, the same, or worse than the previous shares, but things never went to zero.
The RSUs are also a significant amount, equal to more than a year’s income, so it’s nice to “have an idea” of what they’re worth, but not count them explicitly. Hence my 1% valuation of RSUs: math easy enough for me
