Download the Blind app and read some of the posts, you'll get a kick out of it. I'm honestly not sure what to make of all the 25 year olds claiming >$500K TC.

Download the Blind app and read some of the posts, you'll get a kick out of it. I'm honestly not sure what to make of all the 25 year olds claiming >$500K TC. Near as I can tell 1) it's largely a FAANG/SV echo chamber 2) 80% of the TC claimed consists of an initial grant of RSUs divided over a 4 year vesting period with an assumption that "refreshers" are coming and 3) people include price appreciation in unvested stock as part of the TC. Either that or I'm seriously underpaid with 25 YOE despite being well within the top decile of US income earners.
