Along those same lines.. They’re saying the comp is within 10% of SF based salaries.. if you don’t include the options or RSUs.
So one of the biggest factors for Bay Area comp isn’t factored in to their equation? Neat trick.
- dsfyu404ed 7y agoUnless you work at some established company that is or is about to go public options and RSUs may as well be worthless.
- thedufer 7y agoI'd expect the top decile number to be heavily driven by public companies, though. Especially with the recent IPOs, you're now looking at Google, Apple, Facebook, Lyft, Uber, etc all of which pay a huge portion of their comp in stock.
- marcinzm 7y agoThey're not worthless in the sense that employees put value on them and take less salary as a result. Or in other words, they could get a higher salary (+guaranteed RSU) from a larger company but chose not to. So from an employee point of view not having them counted is disingenuous.
- michaelbuckbee 7y agoSnarkiness aside, there are a number of factors that make it a bit of an apples and oranges comparison: - massive difference in working hours - guaranteed compensation vs potential compensation - ability to work remote vs a challenging commute - COL for housing
