Hi everyone, I don’t have much understanding about RSU’s the companies offer.. are these valuable? Or we should put more emphasis on base pay? Some say if it’s public company, then RSU’s are good to have. What’s your opinion?

My RSU’s are 50% of my TC, and the stock appreciation makes it even more valuable. Base and bonus should be sufficient to lead a good life, and RSU’s should be complete savings (that’s what I follow).

For public companies, RSUs can be a really nice bump to your total comp. For higher level positions, the RSU comp can exceed the base pay by quite a bit. The general responsible advice is to treat your RSUs like cash and sell immediately upon vest and diversify. You'll hear about outliers like Nvidia engineers that held all of their RSUs for a decade and are now worth tens of millions. Just remember that your stocks can tank as well.

Private company RSUs are best treated like a lottery ticket. Who knows if they'll ever become worth anything or if you'll be around to see them vest.

like

Try to maximize both base salary and RSUs.

$100k cash is a no brainer vs $100k RSUs that vest over 3-4 years. But companies don’t offer that.

like

RSUs are how you get rich. Not base salary. They’re basically gift certificates for shares of stock that become effective on a future date, when they vest. Look at the stock projections for the company and multiply the RSUs on your offer by that. Then pay attention to when they would actually vest. You’re generally working for compensation that will come at various future milestones, which is one way they retain top talent.

I work through a contractor, and was hired 2yrs ago to be a Systems Test Engineer II. They decided last minute to make me a Software Content Manager, but kept my title as is since it was supposed to be a 6mo rotation. I’m still an SCM, and am taking on leadership roles in the group. How do I ask for a title change and pay increase to reflect what I actually do? Do I ask my contract house, or my NASA mgmt? Should I ask to make the pay retroactive since I was hired to do one thing, but do another?

I currently work as an APM at a FAANG company but recently received an offer to join an MBB. I’m very excited about the role but didn’t realize I’d need to take a pay cut when I applied (~100k base + ~20k bonus + ~60k equity vs. 90k base + 10-20k bonus). Considering that I currently work 40-60 hours/week, I’ll be making significantly less per hour at the MBB. I’m very interested in the opportunity but also don’t want to make a poor financial decision early in my career. Thank you for your time!

Reorgs are just a part of the corporate world. If you haven’t been a part of one in your career yet, then you most likely haven’t been in the corporate workforce for very long. If you have been a part of a reorg, however, how do you personally approach it? There are many factors at play, but in general do you try to establish relationships with the individuals you know will be key contributors and/or decision makers going forward?
