When people talk about total comp, are they factoring in anything besides salary, benefits, and stock if applicable? also, is there a general value for how much benefits are worth (like Idk, 30k?)?

Total comp generally includes base, bonus, and stock based compensation. Technically it should include things paid by your company on your behalf (any other benefits), but transparency is often lacking there.

Think of it as things that convert to money.

like

Base + bonus + stock + PTO payout at full accrual + 401k match + full cost of benefits + projected valuation of company divided by headcount on the 3rd Thursday of every other December + ((bill rate x .373) - (your salary ÷ 3)) + the difference between your average food spend and per diem.

Makes complete sense now!

On this app? People include everything, including the cost of snacks in the fridge. In the real world? Base + bonus + equity. Maybe some sort of 401k match if the difference between companies is going to make a difference to your decision to stay or go.

I don’t think most would include benefits. Mostly: base salary + bonus + shares

What about 401k contributions (not match) - do folks include that? I’ve noticed BB specifically lists it in their comp talks but we don’t really discuss non-cash comp as part of our TC discussions

401k contributions that are no-strings-attached and happen at the beginning of the year rather than completing the year should be included.

Is this legal? My spouses company just decided to change their comp structure for account managers. It was base + comm, now it’s commission only but nothing changed, OT commission is the same, didn’t get more points, just took away the base pay and said work harder basically. So now they have to worker harder to get $50k they were already making. (Not a decision based on employee performance, they’ve been crushing it. I think the company is just trying to save money they overspent else where)

We have sales people in Canada and the US, the Canadians make 150K CAD and down here it’s 150K USD, the Canadians argue they should be making 30% more than the US colleagues to be equal bc of the exchange! I explain the salary is dependent on the market data for them in Canada, WHERE THEY LIVE, and you can’t compare it to the US employees and the market data down here. Overall they are both in the 75th% for total comp. for their industry. Am I wrong?
