4 years - the magic number...

Interesting, could you elaborate on why 4 years is the magic number?

stock vesting periods are usually 4 years

Ah, i see

To be clear, me staying/leaving when I did had nothing to do with the vesting schedule.

Excluding that reason a lot of people leave at 4 years to get a larger bump in salary than one could expect staying at a company
