Is it misleading to just look at Total Compensation from a $ dollar value/ Total Compensation seems to be much more subjective than base salary in terms of its value. Some factors might be:

RSUs granted on dollar value or by # of shares & stock price trends
Vesting schedule
strike price on ISOs & delta between strike price and real market value

For instance, most of value in Amazon's comp seems to be granted in years 3 & 4, but it's well known that most people last only 2 years max there.

Yes. But on the internet TC includes literally everything plus whatever made up number you decide to add to it

To be fair in the case of Amazon they pay big cash bonuses to account for back loaded vesting schedule

Also, base salary is the best form of compensation when it comes to living the lifestyle you want without any stress.

200K base salary -> you can live as though you actually make 200k. You have total flexibility on how you want to spend and save.

100k base salary + 100k bonus -> you have to live mostly as though you actually make 100K and use the bonus for savings. Unless you already have a lot of money saved in the bank, you can’t live a 200k lifestyle

Having worked in tech, then CPG, and going back to tech, I will say that RSU grants can be a sizable portion of your income. I feel like most companies outside of tech only primarily do base + bonus…maybe a tiny bit of stock but not like in tech. After the cliff, it was nice getting your RSUs vesting every couple months or quarter.
