You’re comparing total comp (Levels.fyi) to base salary (BLS data).
- Amezarak 6y agoFair enough, but most of us are not getting RSUs. Base salary is total comp, excepting things like 401(k) and HSA contributions.
- sulam 6y agoHmm, is this true? Do you have data for that? Big swathe of people who don’t get liquid RSUs: contractors, startup employees. Big swathe of people who do: all FTEs of large public companies (banks, tech, health care, etc). I suppose I’ve convinced myself that it might be true that “most” applies, but it’s a close call in my very back of the envelope analysis. :)
- ghaff 6y ago>all FTEs of large public companies (banks, tech, health care, etc) I very much doubt that is true.
- Amezarak 6y agoI have been an FTE in multiple F500 companies and been in a position to have insight into the compensation of many others and none of them received stock compensation except into their 401(k). My current employer (large public company) has a "deal" where I can buy company stock for something like a 5% discount.
