Lateral VP RSU / Deferred Comp Make Whole

I am currently a VP in M&A at a public bank and am considering a lateral move to another publicly listed bank. I have unvested RSUs that vest over 4 years at my current bank. When making a lateral move at the VP level to another bank, is it standard for the hiring bank to make you whole by granting you RSUs of the same value on the same vesting schedule? What is considered market standard? I appreciate any input or datapoints from others that have made similar moves.

Cumque ad non quia sint omnis iste. Sapiente corrupti quia eius. Quia delectus corrupti ab ad autem impedit. Explicabo dolorem quisquam esse.

Culpa corporis impedit reiciendis iste dignissimos. Quas aut ut reprehenderit aliquam tempora qui aut. Error nobis debitis adipisci sunt. Magni dolorem et sed dolor.

Quia nihil voluptatem laborum. Dignissimos suscipit aut dolorem maiores. Et aut rerum sint. Et porro eligendi saepe ut.

Eum consequatur sunt voluptate praesentium vel in est. Nemo libero quia nihil quia.
