In the long-term, what tends to be more valuable financially? 1. High 100% cash comp (I.e. consulting/banking) that you can then invest (assume S&P500 index DCA) or 2. Somewhat high cash comp with RSUs (Big tech, etc). Also assume excess cash here is put in SP500 Index DCA.

I ask because I’m fine with either. There are lots of jobs that I’m interested in, but some are cash comp focused whereas others have an RSU component and I’m not sure which one has better value.

Cash today is better than cash tomorrow (RSU’s vest over four years typically). If you can afford to take on the risk, the upside with RSU’s are greater. If you need stable cash flow, prob not the best idea since with most tech jobs you’ll make a lower base (in mid/senior roles)
