How do RSUs/equity work? I received an offer that includes $20k equity. I'm not sure if this is good, or low, as I don't really know how the payout is calculated or given. Can anyone advise?

Sounds low. Most companies pay your equity over 4 years so if that's the case, it's only an additional $5k per year.

If it's $20k per year, that's obviously better but still really low compared to most tech companies.

Ask the recruiter how it's paid out then start negotiating

Yes absolutely ask for the vesting schedule. RSUs are typically easier to negotiate then base salary, so go high. I recently just started a job where RSUs are offered. They initially gave me $75k but moved up to $100k bc they couldn’t match the increase I wanted in base comp (they got close). All this is to say, negotiate. Don’t leave money on the table!
