Yes I was counting equity in, since they're publicly traded companies, RSUs are pretty much equivalent to a cash bonus, at least to me... But even without that

But even without that, given the total compensation, I'm sure it'd be easy for said companies to extend offers that are over $130k in cash on paper, since it includes bonuses.
- lukeschlather 10y agoYes, RSUs are cash, but only when they vest. The way I see it, RSUs for those companies are more like guaranteed raises than current compensation. So it might be more accurate to say that a rock-bottom offer from such a company guarantees you will rise to $160k/year total compensation within four years, but the total compensation in your starting year will probably be less than $130k.
