My parents legitimately don’t know what I do every day

Mine don’t care that much....

Mine don’t care at all...

Yes unless it’s a deal or bad shit

I stopped telling mine because they used it to brag and it got awkward for me

Nope

Mine worked in PA though so they at least understand confidentiality

I’ll tell them who my client is, or what I’m doing for the client - never both

Is it misleading to just look at Total Compensation from a $ dollar value/ Total Compensation seems to be much more subjective than base salary in terms of its value. Some factors might be:

RSUs granted on dollar value or by # of shares & stock price trends
Vesting schedule
strike price on ISOs & delta between strike price and real market value

For instance, most of value in Amazon's comp seems to be granted in years 3 & 4, but it's well known that most people last only 2 years max there.
