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.
