Who we serve
Fluent in tech compensation.
Hilpan Moxie serves technology professionals navigating RSUs, equity compensation, and career transitions. That focus is the whole practice, not a page on a menu, and it started with the first Google client in 2008.
The practice
3 kinds of client, 1 kind of problem
Different titles and different numbers, but the same knot: pay that arrives as equity on somebody else's schedule.
Software engineers
Initial grant plus refreshers plus ESPP plus a 401(k) with after-tax room. The pieces are good. The coordination is the job.
Managing directors
Larger grants concentrate faster and tax brackets leave less room for error. Planning at this level is measured in decisions per year, not products sold.
Tech recruiters
You see hundreds of packages a year. Ours is the discipline that makes your own package perform.
Depth, not breadth
If you work at Google, start here
Much of Don's published writing walks through Google-specific decisions. The order to fund your accounts. What actually happens to equity and severance when you leave. How to keep a rising income from quietly raising your burn rate.
The right order of decisions
The featured guide to sequencing financial choices as a Google employee.
Severance, answered
One of the most common questions Don gets from Googlers after they leave is what to do about severance. There is a process for it.
Diversify with intent
Concentrated stock is a plan risk, not a loyalty test. We manage it down on a schedule you approve.
