When you hear “total comp” what comes to mind?

Base, bonus, stock, 401k, etc
Or just Base+bonus?

Base and bonus. Equity is included in bonus in my mind. I hate hate hate companies that try to include insurance and their 401k contributions as total comp.

Me too! We are smart enough to know this. Once I told them that since insurance was a benefit, I would opt for not taking it and receiving it as cash, but they declined...

After tax bonus and base

Always use pre tax. Helps to see what the job actually pays. Everyone has a different tax/deduction status.

As long as it’s transparent, who cares? If I want to compare the comp from two different job offers, I take EVERYTHING into account.
If a hiring manager says, “Your total comp would be $x”, I ask what that includes.

Just base, bonus, and equity. 401k match is not part of this traditionally. Maybe if you’re with one of those rare companies with like 20% match then it would make sense to want to include that

Base and bonus typically.

But my company gives 5% match. And extra 3% regardless of your contribution (to replace the old pension plan that was discontinued)…vs my old company gives 3% match max, so I kinda factored the % difference into the offer.

Having worked at ADP before JPM, it’s the whole package for me. Base, bonus, benefits, 401k, etc. That’s how ADP presented it internally and on our platform for clients.

Usually base + bonus. Stock and 401k matches depend on you. At least, that is my experience; other companies can be different.

Base, bonus and fixed monetary benefits. But just to make sure, during application you can ask the recruiter of the HR regarding the inclusions in the total compensation package. They might have different approach of the phrase.

Base + Bonus

Equity and 401k only if there’s no vesting period

Everything

To me it's base and bonus, equity is a separate discussion and not always a thing depending on the company

Hi! I'd say base, bonus and all other benefits. Companies have their own computation so this might not be applicable to others.
