What is a reasonable range of total comp (base, bonus, stock) for a tax manager going into industry?

Other facts that may be relevant:
SF bay area
Mix of responsibilities across several speciality areas (think it/salt, but more specialized)
Mid size company (30B market cap)

Appreciate any insight you guys have.

One more fact - 7 years of experience, including WNT.

I know this doesn't answer your question, but I have a few friends who received tax senior positions in industry in Bay area for total comp in the $100-$125k range (ie total comp ~$100k salary + bonus+ stock = $125k) they specialized in corp tax (asc740) and have 3 years of experience total; haven't heard anything below $100k salary. So whatever they offer you, I'd expect it to be significantly higher; I'd be interested in hearing the ballpark range for tax managers.

I know someone who was a tax senior and left to join as a senior analyst in industry for $150k TC. If OP is at around 150-160 TC currently, then should target for 180-210k TC range.

Yeah, sounds like great experience. I would imagine around $150k-$180k

Currently in TCS basic is low around 20-25% of your salary.

As per the proposed new wage rules, basic should be 50% of package. So this will eventually increase Gratuity of long timer TCS.

In a case, if my Gratuity stands at 1 Lakh say, with new wage rules it will be 2.5 Lakhs.. Is my understanding correct? Will the company pay from their pocket for this?
