Right, but equity at big, established companies generally isn't worth potentially $1M+. From what I've seen, it's around $20-50k/year and a calculated part of the compensation package.
- bradlys 8y agoWow. For a new grad, yes. For those later on it can be more than half your income. A $300k package from companies here can be 180/120 salary/stock split. $300k is not uncommon at all at big co. Some company will cap salary and then all future gains are in stock+bonus.
- paxys 8y agoDisagree with that. In recent years you are way more likely to make $1M from stock grants from companies like Google, Facebook and Amazon than even the top startups.
- david38 8y agoNot true, it's often easily worth $150k/year, on top of your $120-180k salary.
