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 contributed $24,500 this year."+−
Truth: Meta offers pre-tax, ROTH, after-tax 401(k) on top of employer match. The total annual limit is $72,000 for 2026. You might have maxed out the pre-tax portion but not necessarily the after-tax portion.
Myth 2: "I believe in my employer and believe that Meta stock price will continue to skyrocket."+−
Truth: Tech employees face a double risk: they may lose their job and their employer stock value at the same time. To minimize risks, we recommend clients capping any single stock at 5-10% of their portfolio .
Myth 3: "How are my RSUs being taxed when they vest and when I sell them?"+−
Truth: Meta RSUs are taxed as ordinary income at vesting. Subsequent sales trigger short- or long-term capital gains tax, depending on whether the shares are held for more than one year
