Group product manager equity comp in New Hampshire

How group product managers earning rsu + refresh grants should plan around New Hampshire's no-income-tax regime.

Typical comp shape

Group product managers usually earn rsu + refresh grants. Common employers include Alphabet, Meta, Stripe. GPM refresh grants at FAANG typically hit 40-60% of base, so annual refresh timing drives diversification cadence.

What New Hampshire changes

New Hampshire has no wage income tax, which is structurally favorable for group product managers with meaningful RSU comp. The savings vs a CA-resident colleague can be $30-60k per year at senior IC levels. That math is why Austin and Seattle are the two top relocation destinations for Bay Area tech workers.

Planning cadence

For a group product manager in New Hampshire, the three planning windows are: after each RSU vest (withholding check and sell-vs-hold), before any ISO exercise (AMT model at federal only), and in Q4 (estimated tax top-up to clear the safe harbor). A move-out question — if you're considering leaving New Hampshire for a high-tax state, time it around vesting.
