Base comp isn't a great metric because it widely varies based on compensation schema.
For exmaple, Amazon has a cap on base (I think it's 160k) and provides huge amounts of stock beyond that. I'd imagine it's a similar story for many companies.
Total comp is a far more realistic and accurate measurement.
