Fish fam: I have a noob question. I was told the total compensation for a role is 600k and this includes base & equity. Equity has a 4-year vesting schedule (25, 35, 25,15%). I don’t know what to make of this. Does this mean:
1. I make 600k in my first, next year a little more since it’s 35% and so on
2. 600k is the sum total of my starting base salary plus all 4-years worth of stock?

I feel dumb not asking the recruiter more specifically, she just said TC will be close to 600k. Please help!

It’s a fair question to clarify. “How is this broken into base and equity”.

Means that if you leave prior to each checkpoint, you only keep the equity accrued to that point.

If TC is $600k, that means $600k a year.

Thanks agreed, I’m kicking myself for not asking. But what’s confusing is that the vesting % is different every year so don’t understand how it will be 600k annually unless it’s expected they’re just ballparking it

Wtf is going on with comps every hour someone is posting about an offer that’s $600k or more ! Serious 🧐

Oh btw congrats OP !

Inflation!

It’s also possible that $600k is assuming 100% vested.
For example, you get 200 base + bonus.
400k equity per year vested over 4 years (25% each year)
So year 1 comp would be 300k
Year 2 - 400k
Y3 - 500k
Y4+ - 600k each year.

Less comp in year 1-2 could be adjusted by a huge signing bonus.

TC is usually annual. What sort of role?

For an example, If it is just base and equity, and equity is 100k over 4 years, comp would be: year 1 575 base 25 equity. Year 2 565 base 35 equity. Year 3 575 base 25 equity. Year 4 585base 15 bonus. Expect stock would be a higher portion of your total comp than this example but 100k is simple example

Or 185 in ny/sf for amazon

Would clarify how they are defining total comp. between base, bonus and equity. Total estimated comp should increase every year so would ask them to break it out over the next 4 yrs into those buckets.
