Got my first LTI equity grant, 25% of base/~€51k euros (~$58,600 USD) vesting over 3 years. Base is $233k plus 25% bonus. Thoughts on equity and comp? I feel like the equity is just imaginary money at this stage.

I just count it as part of my compensation at current value, sell at vest, and invest according to my asset allocation.

This is a very rational approach. Many people treat equity as extra income, ignoring the fact that it is essentially an asset. Deciding whether to hold or sell after ownership is based on one's own risk tolerance and asset allocation goals, which is often more prudent than simply hoping for a rise in stock price

I think the key point isn't the 25%, but rather the company's growth potential. If the company's value doubles in the next three years, the significance of this stake could far exceed the current figure. Are you confident in the company's long-term development?

I’ve got about 20 years cross channel experience in marketing, split between big brands and startups, and I’m considering pivoting into a data science/data analyst role. I know it will initially be a step back in comp but is it at all realistic for a person with certificate level experience in data analysis but a decent marketing management background to expect $150-200k comp or is that mostly for degreed candidates (or not realistic at all)? Any guidance here is greatly appreciated.
