Restricted Stock Units, or RSUs, are one of the most common forms of equity compensation for tech professionals.

What does it mean to be restricted?
How is it different than actual stock?
What happens at vesting (and tell me again what "vesting" is...)?
When does it trigger taxes, and what kind?
What should I think about when deciding whether to sell vs. hold?

I use an example to explain how RSUs work and a couple of things to think about when deciding what to do with them.
