How do you calculate your tc? Do you include signing on and benefits? Or is it just base + bonus + stock (if any)? Do i miss any other components?

401k match

Include everything cash or easily convertible to cash. Revise the calculation every 12 months to factor in changes in base, stock price, raise from promotion, additional one-time bonuses.

In simpler terms, TC is the absolute starting point for negotiating raises going ahead, ignoring any discount you are willing to take due to a firm’s brand value or for acquiring skills in a specific job ladder.

Yes, everything that you get paid for in some form of “cash” or asset. Commissions, bonuses, RSU that can get sold for cash, etc. I would not include benefits though.

Don't include signing bonus - think of it as something that's proxy to the bonus you might have received in your current company.

Salary + bonus + equity (portion that vests this year)

It’s your total compensation

Is a sign on bonus considered compensation? If so then yes lol

Some people go as far as calculated the dollar value of benefits but that’s kinda grey area

like

We use base/bonus/stocks, and anything that’s a recurring year you year.

Need not be recurring. One can simply revise the TC down if the absence of non-recurring payout in the following year isn’t fully covered by increase in base / stock price or annual raise.

Sign on bonus should not be included in TC… should only be recurring comp.

Sign on bonus is 2 years and gets adjusted with RSU post year 2 so that’s different. You’re essentially trading sign-on with the promise of more RSU to make up for the dip in comp.

I'm a third year plaintiff's employment law attorney and I'm looking to move to defense, preferably still in employment law. I received an offer from a midsize firm that primarily focuses on PI with little-to-no employment law practice, so I'll have a bit of a learning curve. Offer is $90k, billable hours of 2100. Is this reasonable? I'm dead-set on leaving my current job, and this would be a $20k pay increase - which makes me believe I'm leaning towards taking it for those reasons only.
