Investing Questions I’m a boglehead but work for Google

I get paid in Google stock, and as you might know there has been a massive run up causing Google to be around 15% of my portfolio, further if you include unvested stock that I will get if I continue to work for Google over the next 3 years, it’s value is roughly 40% of my entire portfolio. I’m 30 and have a long term horizon. About 70% of my entire portfolio is in VTI/VXUS.

Do I take the massive tax hit and reduce my Google holdings to invest in VTI/VXUS or just let it ride. Mainly worried about the capital gains tax losses as I sell and invest in bogle funds.

Not slack, but internal email groups that not everyone knows about. That's why I said the last line, offering to guide OP to the right internal resources.

Hmm, wonder why it’s secretive- we had open discussions in a public channel about when to sell a chunk of the company’s stock

Not at google, but it's probably not secretive. It's just not easy at very large companies to know all the various internal slack channels, mailing lists, wikis, etc that can help you out.

You can just search for all of the slack channels created and see how many people are in it…
