Right, and that's fine (not sure why I'm being downvoted), but why not just say "I make X base salary, Y% target annual bonus, and I got a signing bonus of Z plus RSUs" like everyone in every other industry instead of adding it all up and calling it salary? There's a difference between guaranteed comp and variable comp, just like there's a difference between annual recurring comp and one time comp like a signing bonus.
- tidepod12 7y agoNo idea why you're being downvoted. I imagine the reasoning is because at the end of the day, in most discussions, it hardly matters the technical aspect of if the money came from a signing bonus or a stock option. $300k is $300k.
- esoterica 7y agoThe title says compensation, not salary. People usually say compensation or TC when referring to the total number. > There's a difference between guaranteed comp and variable comp All comp is variable since you can be fired or laid off at any time.
