Problem with this approach is RSU grant price is fixed at when you join the company.
You could sign job offer with $1M in RSUs at $100/sh for 10k shares, but you would have vested only $500k worth of shares if price decreases to $50/sh a year after, when you reach cliff vest
So selling at vest does not decrease your risk between RSU grant date and vest date
