What is included in TC? Base salary + bonus?
What abt 401k match, stock discounts, health insurance contribution? Do those count? Looking for insight as to how much to try for when job hunting. Thx!

Generally TC is base + bonus + stock. You should definitely weigh benefits as well (health insurance, 401k match, etc.) but those are generally not included in TC.

I usually include 401k but it’s reasonable to discount based on vesting schedule

Base + Bonus/Comissions + Equity

Usually

Base + Bonus + Commission + Equity + Retirement

Putting proper value on bonus, commission, equity requires some belief about performance (individual or corporate). Equity and retirement require understanding of vesting schedules etc.

Personally, I include healthcare benefits because they are free at BCG but I do NOT include those on this app because the value varies with individual circumstances. For me, I figure $10-15k more than good corporate insurance.

Got it! That makes sense. Will definitely weigh benefits as apart of the full value of an offer.

So when a potential employer ask about my salary expectations, I should give x% of my salary/bonus/equity!

Thanks for the responses!
