- suyash 11y agoHow did total comp went down if base went up? What was it that went down specifically?
- vonmoltke 11y agoOutside of a few hot areas, total compensation for even the best people is usually 85% base salary.
- suyash 11y agoHow is that possible? example please
- diffraction 11y agoPerformance bonuses?
- harmegido 11y agoI'm actually a stock trader, so it's even more skewed for me and would be a good example. Let's say I get paid $50 per year. At the end of the year, depending on my/our performance, I will get paid between $0 and $200 as a bonus, which I wouldn't count as part of my base comp. Other forms of non-base include stocks/options/etc.
- tpudlik 11y agoTotal compensation is base salary plus stock/options. If your stock grant goes down by enough, total compensation may fall even if base salary went up.
