What do you think will be the effect of all the stock compensation in tech?
People in tech seem to be heavily pay with stock option, if those are real stock and not ghost one, don't you see the risk of a downward spiral in stock price?
Lower price -> more stock issues -> more pressure to sell -> lower price

Compensation itself will not tank a stock. You’re taking a fairly complicated item (technically and emotionally) and distilling it down to one viewpoint and dimension.

Exact opposite has happened over the years

Back in the dot com bubble IBM was at the top of the tech word and advertised all cash compensation offers.

We aren’t there yet. Right now current employees may get special awards to make up for declines, especially high performers.

Our RSU bonuses are a tiny sliver of total ownership so it doesn’t have a material impact on lowering stock price

Usually the company reprices the options so you have the same number of shares outstanding. New grants are at the current price is roughly where the stock was a couple years ago at worst. People seeing their current options underwater leave and go somewhere else making older grants unexpected.

There will be some increase. But not as much as you imagine.

In this environment, stock issues are generally lower since -
1. Hiring freezes are limiting the number of new employees
2. Companies are stopping or reducing stock refreshers for current employees
3. Headcount reductions will release un-vested RSUs to be issued elsewhere

It’ll be the same as always. Nobody is going to make a dramatic change in stock compensation over temporary market movements

Do you think women in the industry are paid lesser as compared to men.
Out of personal experience ,I can see that during compensation discussion HR person tries to convince a women candidate for a lesser package . Now this could also be the case where it is much easier to convince women to take up the job for lesser salary.
Whereas the male team member gets paid high (same YOE , same number of switch , similar prev CTC) though women are equally or more talented sometimes.
