What it's like to work with Farther
Financial planning complexities for Meta employees
We've worked with employees of Meta for years, so we understand how your financial life is uniquely complex.
- How do you maximize your equity compensation at Meta?
- How do you reduce your tax burden?
- What approach do you use to maintain your wealth and make it last generations?
If you're asking yourself any of those questions, know that you're not alone.
Three myths raised by thousands of Meta employees
Don’t let these misconceptions cost you hundreds of thousands, or more.
Myth 1: "I’ve maxed out 401(k) and done everything I can."+−
Truth: Along with pre-tax and Roth options and a company match, Meta’s 401(k) allows after-tax contributions. This unlocks strategies like the Mega Backdoor Roth, helping employees build tax-free wealth far beyond standard IRS limits.
Myth 2: "Meta stock will keep soaring, so I shouldn't sell my vested equity."+−
Truth: Tech employees face double concentration risk—losing their job and primary portfolio value in the same market downturn. Advanced strategies allow employees to participate in stock upside while managing downside risk and maintaining tax efficiency.
Myth 3: "How are my Meta RSUs double taxed? It seems I’m taxed at vesting and when I sell them."+−
Truth: RSUs trigger two distinct tax events, not double taxation. Vesting establishes your cost basis and incurs ordinary income tax. Selling only taxes the subsequent growth as a short- or long-term capital gain.
